Hi jacgo,

A Google search for "keyword generator" will bring up a list of a number of interesting tools.

I usually create a "Common Information" single record editor with fields for masthead images, site descriptions, key words, contact information and the like.

That way my clients can easily change any of this information.

Then I include this get records code at the top of my page:
// load records
list($common_informationRecords, $common_informationMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'common_information',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$common_informationRecord = @$common_informationRecords[0]; // get first record
And this in the head section of he page:
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $common_informationRecord['site_description'] ?>">
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $common_informationRecord['keywords'] ?>">

There are a lot of other examples and hints like this in my CMSB Cookbook http://www.thecmsbcookbook.com

Hope that gets you started...
