Many people have been using the tag just because they've seen
someone using it but they dont know how it works and the function. I will like
to shed little light on this Metadata is data (information) about a particular
data in an HTML. Just take a look at this tag <meta> i know you've came
accross it but if may ask you what does it do you answer might be you don’t
because you are using for using sake. Whenever you see this tag in an HTML
<meta>, it gives a metadata about the HTML which will not be displayed on
the page but it communicate with the machine for parsibility.
It usually used to specify page keywords, description, author and
other meta data. As have said earlier it doesn’t visible to the user when a
page is being load and its compatible with all browser.
Note: configuring the meta tag make sure its under the open head
<head>.
Note: Metadata is always passed as name or value pairs.
Note: Meta tag is a single line tag that is when you open it , you
close on the same line <meta name="author" content="Olabode
Israel"/>
==> If you want search engine optimization this is the code for
it <meta name="keywords" content="money, market, adsense,
download, JavaScript">.
Note: money, market, adsense, download, JavaScript are the
keywords that enable search engine to locate your page and address so you
should be able to describe yours in a unique way.
==> To describe your web page <meta
name="description" content="Nigeria education center">,
it shows the all content about education and Nigeria and it differentiate your
blog from other.
==> To include authors name <meta name="author"
content="Olabode Israel">
==> Also you can include auto refresh to your page but it must
be in seconds <meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="30">, the thirty there is the refreshing time which is in
seconds. Give it a try and keep enjoying your tag.
