This is a great step-by-step explanation of how to do it, but I caution you on one thing.
Before you "update" all of your pages and apply the Editable Region, you should consider doing one of the following:
- Inserting the empty <meta> tag coding for both the Description and Keywords so that all you have to do is write the actual tags that go inside them.
- Put in a default (but optimized) set of tags in the region. This will essentially copy those tags to each page on the first update.
Having said that, there are negatives to each option.
- Uploading pages w/ blank Meta Tags is never a good idea, so if you choose the first option, you'll need to write the information into the tags before publishing.
- Uploading pages w/ duplicate tags is also not a good idea, so again, you'll need to customize each page's tags before publishing.
Whichever way you go, it should still help save you some time from having to copy/paste (or write out) the Meta Tags coding when you edit each page. I believe there is also a "Meta Properties" type of Window in DW that you could alternatively use, but that adds 2-3 steps per page by itself.
Good luck.
