Use Meta Tags

Meta tags describe your website and are used by webservers, browsers and search engines. You can simply add meta tags in Goldfish. For the whole project or for single pages.

Meta tags can help that your website will be found in search engines or that the user will be automatically redirected to another website. See the list below for popular meta tags:

Poular Meta Tags

This and other meta tags can be set in the Goldfish meta tag window.

Meta Tag Name http-equiv Description
keywords False Keywords, from that search engines should find your website. Note: Google and other modern search engines don't use that for search.
description False One or two line description of your website.
author False Name of the website autor.
refresh True Redirecting to another website.

If you want to set meta tags, you have to decide first if the meta tag should be for the whole project (e.g the "autor") of for a single page only (e.g. "keywords"). If there is a project and page meta tag with the same name, the page meta tag will overwrite the project meta tag. Open the meta tag window of the page or of the project to set your meta tags.

Meta tags are usually in this form: "<meta name="autor" content="Steve Someone" />". Write then "autor" as Meta Tag Name, "Steve Someone" as Meta Tag Value and don't select "http-eqiv". If the form is "<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=http://www.fishbeam.de/" />" set "refresh" as Meta Tag Name, "5; URL=http://www.fishbeam.de/" as Meta Tag Value and select "http-eqiv".
