Some things seems to be listed twice, for some reason. What's up with that?

<meta name="keywords" content="tweaking,overclocking,registry edits,tips, tricks,windows,XP,Vista,overclocking,annoyances,fi xes,tweaks,modification,mods,T weaking" />
<meta name="description" content="It's all about not having to wait, right? Overclocking, registry edits, tips, tricks, etc.,It's all about not having to wait, right? Overclocking, registry edits, tips, tricks, etc." />

Keywords should preferably be separated with a comma or a space.

Before adding a keyword please checkout: what is already showing up in the source of webpage... only add those keywords which are not already showing up. same applies to description as well.

Could we have an update for the "find" and "replace" parts? Because I just upgraded to 3.8.1 and it seems the headinclude has changed. And I'm no good at coding or php.

I have a semi-minor concern about this, and I'm not sure if it will affect search engine indexing or not.

After I update the keywords, for some reason they do not change when I view the page source IN THE ARCHIVE. They do update instantly, from what I've seen, in the full version, standard viewer, but I cannot figure out when I view the page source for the archive the keywords are not updated.

Now, like I said, I don't know how big of a deal this is. I know Google crawls my archive every now and then, but I don't know if it would help Google index my pages if the archive were consistent??

Know what I mean?

Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated!!!
