SEO: Meta Keywords Are Dead
The use of meta keywords for SEO purposes is not efficient because major search engines stopped using them quite some time ago.
This is more of an article "stub" than anything since some of the planned content for this site on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has been delayed. But a quick FYI post seemed appropriate.
I've noticed a fair amount of content on the internet in various places - not all of which is "old" - urging website owners to pay attention to including meta keywords in their site's pages. But here's the thing: you would probably be wasting your time.
Unless you are targeting a smaller or more obscure search engine that does use meta keywords, there is little point in including such in the head tag of your website. Google doesn't use it. Some mentioned that Yahoo still does so I did a test the other day. Conclusion: Yahoo doesn't use meta keywords either.

Custom Price Module for Drupal / Ubercart Could Be Called the Custom Change Product Module
I posted recently about using the Ubercart Custom Price module for things other than changing the price, like changing the quantity instead: Ubercart Custom Price Module Can Be Used for Non-Price Adjustments Too. Well, you really can change other things, including things that don't affect the price even indirectly. For example, you could even change the title. Try this out:
$item->title = 'My funky test title';
