HI
Just suppose I want to put in a robots.txt file or similar file I assume I would put it in as HTML markup - but how do I decide where - before/after html? head? body? Is there any guidance or ruling or best practise on this.
And in the case specifically of robots.txt rather than inserting html would it be better to creat a meta tag (name: robots value: noindex nofollow) on the page in question?
Hi Richard,
When it comes to robots exclusion commands you can do this one of two
ways.
The first is to add the meta tags to your pages using the Page/Meta
Tags dialog.
Open up the Page/Meta Tags dialog, make are you are on the User tab,
click the New button and enter;
Name: robots
Value: noindex, nofollow
You can find a list of values here; http://www.seoconsultants.com/meta-tags/robots/

Hi Richard,
Both methods do the same thing although I tend to favor the robots.txt
file just because I can update the whole site without having to alter
individual pages with Freeway.
The Simple Site Search action is well underway although I hit a couple
of issues with the actions API that may need fixing in the
application. Expect wonderful things in the near future.
Oxford is great. The commute from London and back is less so.
All the best,
Tim.

Thanks Tim, that is nice and clear. Is one method better than
another or does it make little difference?
On another topic -did you ever find time to move forward with your
search site action which drew a lot of chatter in August/September?
