I'm thinking that you're talking about using meta tags with keywords relating to your site?
Here's the element that goes inside the <head>
<meta name="keywords" content="whoopee,cushions,xray,specs" />
but I don't know too many that use this method anymore. I tend to use free search engine submission stuff or design in a way that makes the site "desirable" to search spiders.
There are all sorts of ways to do this; cross linking, content changes, etc.
Try searching on "how to make a site appealing to search bots" for more tips.

To make a page searchable you just remove the meta robots tag which would be specifying either noindex or nofollow in order to stop the page being indexed or the links in the page being followed. Alternatively just remove the "no" off the front.

ya its really very easy, just download your index page, open in notepad and copy and paste following code:
<head>
<meta name="description" content="place website details here">
<meta name="keywords" content="place your website keywords here">
<title>place your website title here</title>
</head>
then save and upload index page.
Finished!!!

You should really get yourself a copy of dreamweaver so you can take control of your own webpage, it will make it easy for you to edit now that it is already built for you.
SEO takes more that just changing a couple of meta tags.

Whatever you do in the page itself isn't going to make much difference - it is how many thousands of relevant incoming links that has the greatest effect.

Bad advice. Most search engines these days ignore the meta "keywords" tag because it has been so totally abused by website designers. There just isn't any substitute for actual content, and for a website that is actually useful or interesting enough that other people post links to it.
