For a beginner, I'm pretty good a figuring things out but I've hit a wall on this one and I need some of you "coding gurus" to point me in the right direction.
If I understood him right, Tomas has said that custom templates will allow unique meta tags for each item. I've looked at the wiki variables and I just don't see how you can get the template to pull a unique meta tag for each item. Even if I changed the data source for the variable below, wouldn't it still be the same for every page since it's entered on the template? Can this line be inserted into the html of the page text for the products? Wilth the appropriate unique words of course, instead of the global source. I thought that the meta tags had to be in the head of the document.
I'm probably in way too deep here but if someone can just tell me that it CAN be done, I'll figure it out eventually. Then again, maybe it's simple and I'm just clueless!

| You don't need to use any BISI Markup variables for a unique meta.. Instead of using a meta tag like: <meta name="description" content="$Store.MetaDescriptionText" /> You'd enter it as: <meta name="description" content="Type your custom meta tag description for each page here." />

Would that be entered in the product details template head? Or on the product page text?

Each page requires custom template code. Each page would have an HTML structure like this:<html>
<head>
<meta name="description" content="Type your custom meta tag description for each page here." />
<title>$Store.TitleTagText</title>
<head>
<body>
Custom Template Body Content Here
</body>
</html> Just change the description content on each page to make it unique.

Sorry I'm so dense here but...
Are you saying that I should create a unique page for each product with the appropriate meta tags in the head? And where would I upload that page? Would I put the entire code for the page into the page text for that product including the head & body tags?
Or are you saying that there is a way to edit the existing head of the individual product pages?

On your custom templates page, you have a page that says "Product Details". You need to put the meta tag Tomas listed in there instead of what is there now.

| Sorry for my confusion. There is no way to hard-code unique product details meta descriptions. You could use <meta name="description" content="$ShortProductDescription" /> The $ShortProductDescription will strip any HTML and show only the first 250 characters of your product description. This is the same function that is used here: http://shop.buyitsellit.com/ Notice the abbreviated product descriptions in the list. I'm missing this variable from the wiki. I'll get it updated.

Ok. That makes sense and I think I can do that. But on the example you provided, the source show the keywords content is empty.
