Most blogging systems OR CMSes don't have the option to add the META KEYWORDS and META DESCRIPTION tags which are the key to search engine success to some extent.

Yes, I know you can add them in theme files... but if you change theme ? You have to re-add them. So we need a persistent solution which doesn't change while changing themes.

Below is a simple procedure where you can add your META tags to a drupal (taking 5.x here) system (without editing any of the theme files!).

Open common.inc in your favourite editor. common.inc is found in <drupal-install-path>/includes

Scroll down to Line Number 116 (or search for drupal_get_html_head).

After the first function line, you will see a line like this -

 
$output = "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n";

You then append these lines RIGHT AFTER the above line (else its not going to work).

$output .= '<meta name="keywords" content="keywrd1,keywrd2,..." />'."\n";

$output .= '<meta name="description" content="A small description here" />'."\n";

Save the file. Make a backup of the older file and place this new common.inc overriding the old one.

The above method has been tested and was found to work. So, if you have any problems just comment down here!

Have a nice day!

Hey guys, hate paying alot of money getting software etc, which don't even come to your complete needs...?? Y Do you go for proprietary software like so? I suggest open source is the way to go.
Open Source software is usually available to us through a variety of ways, but one must always remember that it doesn't always have to be free. Open source softwares can be modified the way we want and also make it behave the way we want it too... So for such reasons Open source should be at our priority.
There are so many open source softwares, and amongst them one of the most famous is Mozilla Firefox, by netscape. Mozilla provides not just this but many more open source software like thunderbird etc.
Similarly in P2P clients such as frostwire which supports a variety of platforms...
Screw everything else.. Do open source... :D

Unless you're living on a deserted island -- and maybe even if you are -- you know about Apple's 3G iPhone and App Store launch last week. Hopefully you know about the Google Mobile App that we launched last week, as well. And some of you may have noticed that we also released a new version of Google.com for the iPhone and iPod touch.

At Google, improving the speed of our applications and user experience is a top priority. The new Google.com for the iPhone browser now loads twice as fast as before -- and not just over 3G or Wi-Fi but also EDGE. We've optimized the page for fast searching, while still providing easy access to other Google applications including Gmail, Calendar, Reader, and many others under the More tab. We also improved the user interface so that there's more room on the page for search results. Take a look at the screen shot below to see how we've eliminated wasted space.

Also, when you click on a search result, the destination web site now opens in the same browser window that you conducted your search with. This means that you can instantly return to your search results or the Google home page by simply pressing the back button of your browser.

Finally, you can now access any of the application tabs directly by adding them to your iPhone Home Screen. We've created cool new icons for all the applications. Simply go to www.google.com in your browser, tap on any of the application tabs, click the "+" button, and select "Add to Home Screen." The icons will appear on your iPhone Home Screen allowing you to go directly to the application with a tap of your finger. Collect the whole set!

The new version of Google.com works on your 3G iPhone as well as the original iPhone and iPod touch. If you use Google Apps, you can also access this new version by going to www.google.com/m/a/your-domain.com, where "your-domain.com" is replaced with your actual domain name.

It is a well known fact that Google is one the best search engines on the Web, or rather say "it's the best".
When we talk about Google and yahoo search index's, Google has atleast ten times the number of yahoo or MSN(now yahoo's search index's have improved to a certain extent, but the lead remains the same)
People needs for search engines is very more like a primitive necessity when it comes to the Web Surfing part of it. It would also be contrary for one to expect someone else to know the whole list of site's available on the web. There might be well over 1,00,00,000 sites, I don't think it will matter even if there were few more zero's to right of that spell bounding figure.
But getting to the point, Linux as an OS, is no where as popular to windows. When it comes to the brighter side of being a Linux user its more like the other way round. Go Linux everyone!!

LINUX IS THE BEST

So all the new and existing users will still need information on how to mount, activate networking, etc. So the best way would be search the net
For Linux alone google has set aside separate index's and i am one of them who is going to benefit from it
The google search site for linux is
http://www.google.com/linux

benefit from the best
