A Favicon is the small picture that appears to the left of your websites address in your web browser. You can select from a list of preset icons by clicking on "Select Icon", or upload one of your own (file must be a 16x16 pixel .ico file to upload). If you don't have an icon editor, you may upload a standard graphic file to a generator, such as favicon.cc.

A Sitemap XML file lists the URLs for your website that are most important. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently. These are now auto-discoverable by search engines, which will help your site get indexed better and quicker.


With Code Highlighting, the builder will automatically color-code any snippets of programming code you include in Blog posts or Custom Content blocks. The Theme you choose here determines the color scheme the builder will use for highlighting your code.


The website Description will be used in the metatags when people or search engines visit your site. Most search engines will use the description for a summary in their search results.


Custom Keywords are used by some search engines for indexing your website. Keywords should be in a comma separated list (eg: hockey,sport,nhl).


Enabling Page-specific metatags allows you to specify a description or custom keywords for that page.
