Right, for my Uni HTML coursework, I need to design a professional looking website with the appropriate META tags included.

What the hell are they??

We're using Dreamweaver Ultra Dev 4, if that's any use to anyone.

DW4 and DW4UD both have META support built in - look for the options.

Also, go to Webmonkey.com. They have something on META tags.

okay, view the source code of this page. At the top is 2 sentances called META NAME="keywords" blah blah blah" and META NAME="description"blah blah blah.

Basically the words in these meta tags are allgedly what search engines pick up on. Therefore the better or more popular the words in your meta tags, the more chance your site has of being listed on a search engine. Allgedly.

You can just copy and paste the 2 sentances from another web page, and change all the words to something relevant to your web site... :)
