Novice Ray here again,

Question: I f I made 4 pages and then used one of them as template with my Logo and footer can I then use that as a template for all new pages? Do I keep the same class then as they all would be the same?

Question: Can I add meta tags in the SEO "Header Section" using RSD ie: <meta name="classification" content="Shopping Site"> and <meta name="Googlebot" content="all, index, follow"> or don't they use them anymore? Or is done only in the HTML editor?

Question: Adding a Custom CSS folder, is that needed for each page? This I am confused on.

Question: Does each row get its own class or can you use the same row class on different pages etc.

Thanks I appreciate any and all help for these question, and yes I have been searching CC and reading but still am confused.

Hi Ray,
1 & 2 yes. 3 only if you intend on adding css outside of what RSD is capable of. 4 only add a new class if you want it to have a different style to the others otherwise you can use the same class. If the row uses all of the same styles of another but you want to add something different you can add a second class to it :)

Q3

Do you mean a custom.css file and not folder. You create this file for extra css that is not in the rsd design. You do not need to create a different file for each page. When coding up the custom.css file you only need to add comments. So if you are coding for the index page say, add a comment above and below your code saying this. Same for your other pages.
The comments helps if you need to go back and change something.Therefore you have one custom.css file that contains all remaining css after project has been exported.

Well that's how I do it

Tony,
HMMMM :rolleyes: Still confused I think it is something I need ??? Is it then only if I want a special color for all fonts etc.
Would I use that if I want to add prices or bg color? Also as you mentioned it is only a "Comment " that I am adding correct.? If so in RSD do I add that custom .css in the SEO resource in the Header section? Just like the "Footer" section that is in the RSD SEO Section?

Thanks I really appreciate your reply and explaining it, I keep reading ansd searching on CC but after hours it does not sink in at all :/

If you come to a stumbling block where RSD cannot provide you with your styling needs, thats when you add a custom CSS file and add your own rules to it ;)

James is correct. You are using css. But you can use the custom.css file to style all your pages where rsd cannot do it. I am suggesting you add comments round the css so that if you have to change it later you know which page and elements it refers to.

Thanks Tony & James D. for your help,

Does anyone know if I use the RSD SEO and add some text in the SEO Footer to re-size the font that can only be done in the editor?

Also adding the meta tags can that be done in RSD SEO? I can add the title and description and keywords but what about adding other meta tags for google ie follow all etc. Do they use that type of meta tags anymore in html 5 ??

Once again Thank you!
After all the problems I have had I have spent today actually redoing all 7 pages that I had done already, cannot figure out why 3 of them are not right as far as the logo being small and to the top left oh well back to work;)

Hi,

Well after many many hours and help from all that have replied to me when I asked a question I think I finally got it! I re-started from scratch the 7 pages that were done, 3 of them had that problem I asked for help about and IMO it has to be the new update that uses "Picture Element" in place of "Image Element" 3 pages did not want to change over so......a re-make is the only way I thought was best.

I also made one that will be a basic template that I can change the classes on for different pages, finally figured out how to use the class and also "Type" Margin and Padding...;)

I do have some questions in regard to RSD that I would appreciate help with:

#1. In RSD I used the SEO section to add "Title" "Description" and "KeyWords" also the "Footer"
As far as the "Footer" in RSD SEO the text seems large how do I make it smaller? Is this something that can only be done in a HTML editor?

#2. In RSD I want to add some "MetaTags" can I add that in the Head section in the RSD SEO? or is this also something that must be done in the HTML Editor? Does HTML-5 use MetaTags like we use to or is this something used in SEO?

Okay that is it ( for now) once again I want to thank all that helped me I appreciate it very much ;)

Hi Ray,
1. I think you a referring to settings >> footer? If so this area is not for text or html, this will place whatever is put in it just before the </body> it is used to add JavaScript or PHP for third party scripts that require code to be placed there.
2. Yes this would be the area to add additional meta tags and any other code that is required to be placed in the <head> section of your page.
