John, As I recall you said that the DNN PageBlaster could move text from a location on the page into the Title and Description Meta-tags. I assume that the locations would have to have a CSS id="New-Title" to identify them. This was for Google's benefit, since it would be easy to do with Javascript for real users. I read the PB manual, but didn't see how I might accomplish this. /DaveS

You can move text around in the page by creating a Regex to capture and replace. So yes, as long as you had the title in a div or some other element that can be easily captured then you could create a regex rule that would replace the output with it moved into the title element. If you had your title tag in a DIV element with an attribute called "title", you would create a rule like this: SearchFor: <title>.?</title>(.?)<div.?id="title".?>(.*?)</div> ReplaceWith: <title>$2</title>$1

With the comments removed gives yeallow screen of death complaining about "" Since I can't see the page generated I'm not sure how to debug this. On a related issue the pages that I want to do this on have URLs like http://localhost/asi3/tabid/263/Default.aspx?vRecordId=553 If I wanted a Friendly URL rule or PageBlaster rule to make them more friendly* how would I do that? /DaveS

In Regex, make sure if you are using an asterisk that you have a period before it.

You do. I am using the exact string you have in this post except that I am using h1 rather than a div. I just got my perl book out and refreshed myself on regex. Why do you have both an * and ? doesn't .* mean any character 0 or more times and the ? mean 1 or more times? Is what I am looking at in the post altered by the process. I tried to enter the H1 and DIV with the brackets and it really messed up the post. Update: I fixed the yellow screen of death but the actual supsitiution is taking place here is the rule. Replace Title .?(.?)(.*?)]]> $2$1]]> My code gets eaten in this post even if it is formated as "code". How did you make your orifinal post? /DaveS
