    Act_Primary templates hold that information, so you will need to edit that file, but this is used on a global level, so anything you add directly into that tag will be shown on all pages.

    you could add in CUSTOMVAR:MYTITLE I suppose thou, that you can assign as a custom property within your software and then change its text content on a per section basis!

    Hope it helps...

      Thanks for that, only i have no idea how to do any of that?
      Can you ellaborate S L O W L Y

      I can use the title FANCY DRESS, instead of what is used now, as that means nothing to a search engine.

      Thanks

        First of all go into Advanced | Custom Properties and click the + in the top left hand corner and type in "mytitle".

        Click OK

        Then go into View | Design | 1st Tab and then click the + again and using the drop down box that will appear, select your property of mytitle.

        Enter the text you want shown as a rule if nothing is entered within a section custom property (i.e. a default text statement) and select the checkbox for customvar (if available to you) and click OK.

        Then go into Advanced | Template Manager | Primary template and within the <TITLE> tags, type in "CUSTOMVAR:MYTITLE".

        Click the X and save it.

        Now your text will be shown in all Act Primary used templates of your site.

        To change it on a per Section basis, double click the section, open the Advanced panel and go into the Custom Properties area. Click the + and enter the text and utilise the "use as customvar (if applicable)" again as above.

        Bingo...

        Hope that helps.....

              Title

              Thanks for that.
              Is this what i need to change the wording at the top of my pages?

              I mean the text in blue at the very top of the screen?

              ie here it says Actinic Community-Reply to Topic-Microsoft etc

              Thanks again, hope it will improve search engine rating even more.

                    The main templates of Act_Primary.htmll and Act_BrochurePrimary.html.

                    Deleting the NETQUOTEVARs is entirely upto yourself, although most sites get good results with them.

                    Check within the custom property area where you set the text itself, and check if Use as CUSTOMVAR is selected (checked), thats if you are using above Bus or Dev copies...
