Free Video Course To Learn HTML5 - Meta Tags

This video is going to be about the metadata and the meta tags located in the head section in your HTML webpage. Meta tags are not used as heavily as they used to be back when the search engines relied a lot on the stuff in the metadata. There are however a few that I would suggest to include in your webpage because they are used by the search engines and how your site info is displayed in the search results, and by some browsers in how they load or reload your webpages. The meta-tags go in between the opening and the closing head tag like the title tags do. Here are a few meta-tags that I think you should include in your webpage markup. Description, keywords, author and charset (character set). And while I do not use this one, some people I spoke to say that if there are elements on the webpage like ads, for example, that change when the page is refreshed, then adding the meta tag that auto refreshes the page might come in handy. I will cover that in just a second as well.
