Question on making new pages - Post...

Hello to all! Well slowly I am getting the hang of using CC and so far I was able to get 4 pages done and Google did say they were "Mobile Friendly" (Finally!)
Question I have before I get to far ahead of myself and get frustrated.

I save the pages and then use CC html editor to add meta tags etc, then copy and add the page to my main folder that is used to FTP, it seems that a few times even though it shows the meta tags I added in CC editor when I uplaod they are not on the site?? and I have to actually redo and then all is fine??

I have 4 pages done so far and I wanted to do another one using one as a duplicate for a template and change some info include the H-rule color etc., when I do that ALL 4 pages also change even though I use a different rule? What am I doing wrong???? I don't want to continue until I know I can change some pages and keep others the way they are.

Did I make any sense what my problem is??? I think it may be in in the css? must I make a custom csss each time?

Thank you, Ray

Meta tags can be added from with RSD on the "Settings" tab.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thanks Eric, I saw that in RSD and did not know if it would be better to just use the CC HTML Editor instead so that is what I have been doing. Do you think RSD meta tag adding is best then or should I get in the habit of using the CC HTML Editor?

The other big problem for me is the css - I don't want to get way ahead on the site until I I get it right. After doing 4 pages and I want to add another one using the same Header with our logo and the same footer more or less as a template for future pages, when I then add info for a new page do I add ALL different classes? If not any other page that I had done will also change when I do the new one correct? This is the part that I am getting confused on when I want to add more pages after I actually duplicate one and use it as a template.

Eric I know you have to be busy and I apologize if I am bothering you with this problem of mine.
By the way , I was able to add the phone number so it works on the smart phone..Thanks

I would place them within RSD so you don't have to keep adding them after export.

Once again Thank you Eric, I tried that and that is the way I will di it.

Now if only I could get that css - custom.css right that is really making me crazy :D
I tried again with a new page after duplicating anoher page and wanted to change the color in the HR did the new rule css for that page only and again it changed all 4 pages that should have kept the original hr rule color, I must really missing something! Back to banging my head!
