Html Head's Meta Tags

Before you even think about writing something in the Body document, build your head's document with it's Meta Tags.

Looks difficult but is not.

And i will help you easy.

Is very important that you have a good Html Page's Head for the following reasons:

Any Modern Browser will affix and interpret well your page
Search engines will collect the right info and index your page correctly
Page's language will be used by editors, browser, crawlers...etc
...etc

After this you will be able to build your document's Head in less then 5 Min.

********** ********** **********

Take a look in a sample document with a small Meta Tag inside that tell in which language is wrote, in this case English-Great Britain:

Head with Title and Language's Metatag

<head> 
<title>My Web Page</title> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb" /> 
</head>

...

Now look another sample with this and more 2 Tags

Meta Tag Description
Meta Tag Keywords

These 2 Meta Tags will tell search engines what your site is about and will use the words inside of it to identify and affix your website.

((( BECARFUL NOT ENTERING WORDS THAT ARE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR WEBSITE OUR SEARCH ENGINES MAY IDENTIFY IT AS SPAM )))

<head> 
<title>My Web Page</title> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb" /> 
<meta name="description" content="Website about colors" /> 
<meta name="keywords" content="colors, paint, brush" />
</head>

...

Now the n3 sample of a simple Web Page with these and also the Body with some text on it.

Note that i'm using Modern Html 5, so instead of writing the Break Tag like this "<br>" (old Html 4.0) we will write "<br />" because in Web 2.0 with Html 5 is this way we write "Empty Tags"

<head> 
<title>My Web Page</title> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb" /> 
<meta name="description" content="Website about colors" /> 
<meta name="keywords" content="colors, paint, brush" />
</head>

<Body>
<div>
 Painting is art <br />
 You can paint everything you like
</div>
</Body>
