So, I have been using the custom HTML and CSS text editors built into Blocs (which I love) to achieve some really cool effects. I also find myself adding code to the JavaScript files after I export my project. The problem is; I have to re-add my custom JavaScript code everytime I make an update to my website and export it.
I was just wondering if there will be a section to input custom JavaScript code inside of Blocs (similar to how we can add custom HTML and CSS code).
Maybe in Blocs 3âŚ
I understand if this is not a very important feature to add to Blocs any time soon. It is just a thought.
Why not just attach this JS via the page header settings? Either as a page attachment or a snippet in the head code section?
Blocs 3 has a code widget which is a step up from the html widget, basically it can handle any type of code as it prevents rendering code in the design environment which stops the code being effected by the canvas dom rendering and being executed. Itâs a big improvement for JS and PHP.
@gadusidup, ok thanks very much. Iâve used this area, and it works fine, but only applies the css to each page individually. I thought perhaps you might be referring to something else where we could attach an external css style sheet that applied the styling to the entire project.

Get rid of the keyword meta tag. It hasnât been used in nearly ten years and can potentially do more harm to your clients SEO than help. It is no longer used as a ranking signalâŚ
The old joke is
âHow do you tell a professional web marketing person from a web designer?..A web designer still thinks using the keyword meta tag is useful!â
Itâs embarrassing even being there. Get rid of it. You will look like you know what your doing.
Unfortunately many developers including Adobe still have a âkeywords meta tagâ entry point. It can be very telling how aware or educated they are on the subject of SEO. Google, Bing and a few others in that order are 98% of the search engines in use worldwide.
Light well written code that allows for fast page loads is important too. Focus on these things for your site âŚ
Use a good keyword(s) in your url
Use keyword(s) in the meta title and page title
Use in the meta description
Use them in your content specific and uniquely to that page.
Use them in your navigation both at top main
And in the footer nav.
Hope this helps you out a bit with SEO anyway.
Maybe it will get deleted from the appâŚ
I suspect that developers retain keyword areas in their apps just to avoid wailing accusations from users who donât understand. I agree they are pointless, but if you were an app developer you wouldnât want to read rants about your software being bad for SEO, no matter how unfounded.
If I look at the websites by local competitors they invariably include keywords and I donât know whether they are unaware how useless they are or whether they do it for an easy life, since 99% of clients probably still think keywords are essential. Indeed most wonât understand anything beyond that.
LolâŚitâs our job as professionals to educate. Itâs not difficult to show any prospective client the proof. Iâve been doing this for many years, probably more years than many here are old.
Iâm a marketing professional and have owned, run and built a half dozen or so multimillion dollar companies. For the last 15 years I have been teaching and consulting for medium to large companies. I give my time to a large non profit company that helps Native American people.
Just following even a few SEO simple principles isnât hard nor difficult to help out your clients. I donât know any serious business owners who wouldnât want to know how to improve their site. I only offer my advice here to help those who want to learn a little something.
I can agree with all of that, but perhaps this is a case of levels and the type of customers you are dealing with. The operative phrase was serious business owner.
From my relatively modest experience of dealing with small businesses, none of them are even capable of setting up their own email client, let alone digest details on SEO and actively market their own sites.
There is a huge difference between an e-commerce site with advertising budgets where they pour over analytics, compared to a small family run carpentry business, where the owner just hopes some people will call him after seeing the website. I do my best in these cases, but itâs not easy when you know they are irritated by the slightest technical details and will never create a single backlink.
Iâd be glad to take a look at any websites you have done and give a free analysis âŚI suspect you have been doing pretty well though based on your response.
Just PM me. A few more positions up in the ranking canât hurt. Even for small businessesâŚwho want to get a call off their website. After all isnât that what having a website is about âŚto bring business to them?
Been doing this a very long time. I would be glad to help if I can. I like to help othersâŚIâm fine so I donât chargeâŚonly big companies where a lot of my time is taken. Life is shortâŚIâm just trying to give back a bit in memory of those who helped me over my life time.
Thank you, thatâs very kind and I may take you up on that offer. As I was writing my last post it actually made me think more about targeting different types of clients, because these small local businesses really are amateur in every sense.
Sometimes they are amenable to being helped and accept your advice, but other times it seems like they are just determined to mess things up and then blame the web designerâŚ
