The Meta Tag

<META NAME>
The META tag is known as the one-sided tag because it requires no closing tag.

This tag is always located between the HEADER tags.

The attribute entries work differently in META tags than in other HTML tags.

•    NAME=gives the meta tag an identifying name - most common names are KEYWORDS and DESCRIPTION.
•    CONTENT=defines what is to be associated with the name you defined in the name portion of the meta tag.
•    COPYRIGHT=defines when your page was created.
•    CONTACT-ADDR=defines the email address users should use.
•    RATING=defines what audience your site is geared towards.
•    AUTHOR=defines who wrote your web page.
