Angela,

One thing you might do is see what other major sites on blindness use for
their key words and then use the ones you feel are most relevant.  Also,
after looking at other sites' key words think of some they do not use which
may bring you up in the rankings.

To view key word choices on other sites, go to a site and then do the
following if you use Internet Explorer.  (I do not know how to acomplish the
following with other browsers).  After reaching the site click on "view" in
the top menu and then go down to "source".  Click on "source" which will
then bring up all the coding for the page you currently are viewing.  You
can find the "key word", or "meta" information near the top of the display.

I hope this helps.

Dear friends,
    I am in the process of figuring out how to include meta text in the code
for my web site
www.syix.com/seeingwithoutvision
Meta text is text which describes your web page so that search engines can
bring it up when people type in certain keywords. For example, if you type
in Blind & California, a search engine would bring up the nfbc web site. My
question for all of you is this: 
    A person looking for information about blindness, either newly blind or
trying to help a friend ... what sorts of things would he be likely to enter
into a search engine? Basically, what should I put in my meta code which
would make my web page come up for its targeted audience?  
    Understand that I have been totally blind all my life, and acquainted
with the NFB to a greater or lesser extent for all the time I have been
interested in learning about blindness, so I have never really had to seek
out information about it. I appreciate all your help. 
 
Thank you
 
Angela Fowler
