    you don't embed keywords in css you embed them in meta tags (keywords and description) but if you want to help your SEO what you do create content (simple text no images) related to your key words and description
    create a XML map, add your URLs to mayor search engines and try to get other sites to link to yours.

    What you do with css to improve SEO is remove style from content. so the SE is just looking at text/content instead of styles

    Do a google search for Improve SEO and read more about it. I hope this helps

    Thanks Hax! I will look into that and thanks for the advice/help.

    meta tags are inserted in your HTML files or in this case, the header.php of your theme files.

    Some info on meta tags:

    Thanks so much geraldyeo!

    So where do I put the following example (with my own info of course) within the header.php text? just at the top?

    <head>
    <meta name="description" content="Free Web tutorials" />
    <meta name="keywords" content="HTML,CSS,XML,JavaScript" />
    <meta name="author" content="Hege Refsnes" />
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" />
    </head>

    Also, how do you feel about the plug in for meta-tags like "Add Meta Tags"?

    Your header.php file should have already have <head></head> tags.
    Just put your meta tags between these tags.

    I haven't used the plugin before, so I cannot give any constructive comments, but I am sure it would make inserting meta tags much easier as it removes the need for you to edit your files (in this case, your header.php) directly.

    another good plugin would be all in one seo I believe

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/

    its the one I use, lets you adjust the meta stuff on a per post/per page basis

    Hey!Tags are inserted by html, not CSS.Look here (as example: http://phpforms.net/tutorial/tutorial.html)
