One of the tasks of the program make_pages is to add keywords to the meta data keyword field. It is important to use page-specific keywords for each page and not to stuff the list with "porn" and other popular search words to try to increase the number of hits received (it won't work anyway). You create a simple text file which contains keywords and phrases for the whole site. Program make_pages reads this list of site keywords and searches for them in the current page; any that match are added to the list shown in the meta data field.
The site-wide keyword list is a list of words or phrases, one per line. The beginning of the list of keywords for the sourgumdrop.org.uk site is shown in Figure 1.

The directory structure is important for the way I organise things for the web site. The program make_pages assumes some of this structure but is easily adapted to alternative arrangements.
At present the site describes four games: Minesweeper, Kakuro, Sokoban and Sudoku. Each of these has its own directory. The pages describing the web site creation methods have turned out to be more numerous than expected, so they also have their own directory (SITE_MAKER). The site also has some general pages, such as the home and download pages. These six higher directories each contain directories named DESCRIPTIONS and CONTENT. DESCRIPTIONS contains the page and menu description files and will contain the XHTML for the menu created by make_menu. CONTENT contains the web site content pages. These are the ones which most concern the user. The SCRIPTS directory contains the programs make_menu and make_pages. The COMPLETE directory is where make_pages will write the XHTML files that comprise the web site. It is assumed that the image files are located in the directory COMPLETE/images.

What I'm describing here are the requirements for a site that is complicated enough to require two levels of menus. If the site being managed only has one menu, then 5/6ths of the above is unnecessary. Only the top set of directories (Figure 3) is needed and the 2 programs each need only be run once. In fact, as the menus rarely change, it is usually only necessary to run make_pages.
