within Meta tags of Web pages. It is a good idea to add keywords to your Web
pages. The Macromedia Dreamweaver Help screens explains that:
Many search-engine robots (programs that automatically browse
the Web gathering information for search engines to index) read
the contents of the Keywords Because some search engines limit
the number of keywords or characters they index, or ignore all
keywords if you go beyond the limit, it's a good idea to use just
a few well-chosen keywords. Enter your keywords, separated by
commas, in the text box labeled Keywords. (Macromedia
Dreamweaver online Help, 2004)
To add keywords to your Web page, open the page in Dreamweaver, go to the
Macromedia Dreamweaver Menu:
1.
Insert>HTML>Head Tags>Keywords
2.
Add words that describe you, the disciplines, and projects you are
involved in — here is an example: design, art, multimedia, dimarco, Web
portfolio, e-portfolio, computer graphics.
3.
After inserting these keywords, your Web pages will look and function the
same. However, they will be more likely to be seen in search engines when
information seekers type in the keywords you listed.
Review and Conclusion
Reviewing the chapter, it is important to point out how the technical processes
are authored to program the Web page's capabilities for the user. After opening
a sliced page from Macromedia fireworks, we see that the designs we created
have been neatly placed into a table based on our slices. Each slice is a graphic
which holds space within a table cell. Each table cell was generated from a slice.
Tables can be converted to layers for easier movement and manipulation, or
you can simply use the existing table. Table cells can be manipulated using the
Properties Inspector. Each table and cell with it has specific attributes that can
be changed using the Properties Inspector.
