Yes it does. Well, according to those in the know anyway. I am simply a student, not an expert. :D

B Watson -
You can use the edit header to add snippets of code if you'd like to start dabbling with some html/css/javascript... For instance, on my site I've added code to remove underlines from links, add a background image (separate from the page background) and create a mouse-over. Makes it easy to "dress up" your VSD site.

I didn't know about the 23 word limit either (now I gotta go back to my 30-odd pages and start counting).

Does 2 words not comma-separated count as one word?

Eric you're a genius (I could tell by the avatar - must be the pipe!).

Its a good question. Its never been clear to me, so I stick with 23 words is 23 words. The way that it has been worded (in almost everything you will read) is, all words between a comma is a keyword, then they say in the very next sentence you cannot exceed 23 words (note that they don't say keyword), so it has always been fuzzy to me so I just stick with the most important 23 words regardless of the comma usage.

Hope this helps.

Am I right in assuming that once a page of a website created in VSD has been changed in HTML editor, any further changes must also be done in HTML editor?

Yes I believe that to be correct.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said...but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not exactly what I meant.

I have read on on other forums that Google no longer takes note of keywords, more importance is put on linking to other sites relevant to yours ... (?????)

This is incorrect. If you reverse the two that would be true. Google is placing a stronger emphasis on keywords while at the same time not making back linking a priority. Back linking is also the major contributor of page rank, which as a whole is basically gone.

Ok now I'm confused? why would it say you can use as many key words as you want and now people are saying only 23?? which is it?
