Intro
PHP-Nuke comes preloaded with a lot of metatag information, however the keywords pre-installed are not likely to be very useful for your site. The keywords are keywords that are for a PHP-Nuke information site so unless that is what you are creating you will want to change the metatag information. You may also wish to alter the header information codes, i.e. anything that comes between the <head> and </head> tags. PHP-Nuke v7 does not have an administrator module to alter these settings on the fly, however changing them is not all that difficult.
Metatags
The metatag information is stored in the meta.php file that resides in the [i]yourphpnukedir[/i]/includes/ folder. Here is what the meta.php looks like on install:
<?php

In order to customise your keywords you merely have to alter the echo "<META NAME=\"KEYWORDS\" CONTENT=\" line. Put in the keywords that your site will be using. You can change any other metatag information on this screen as well, but strictly speaking it is not necessary the preloaded metatags are probably ok for your site.
Other header tags
All other header tags belong in the my_header.php file, which is also in [i]yourphpnukedir[/i]/includes/ folder. Here is what that file looks like upon install:
<?php
/************************************************************************/
/* PHP-NUKE: Web Portal System */

/* [url="http://phpnuke.org/"]http://phpnuke.org[/url] */

/*
This file is to customize whatever stuff you need to include in your site when the header loads. This can be used for third party banners, custom javascript, popup windows, etc. With this file you don't need to edit system code each time you upgrade to a new version. Just remember, in case
you add code here to not overwrite this file when updating!
Whatever you put here will be between <head> and </head> tags.
*/
?>
This file is blank to begin with, however if you want to add anything too your page that should be written between the header tags this is where it would be placed. For example if you wanted to include a favicon line it would look like this:
echo '<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico">';
Notice the single quotes around the echo statement so that you can use double quotes within the LINK REL tag. It is crucial that you do not use the same quote styles for both the tag and the echo.
