Head: Meta Tag

The <meta> element is used to specify page description, keywords, author, and other metadata. It is used by web services, such as browsers (how to display content), and search engines (keywords).

To define keywords for search engines:
<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, CSS, XML, XHTML, JavaScript">
To define a description of your web page:
<meta name="description" content="Free Web tutorials on HTML and CSS">
To define the character set used:
<meta charset="UTF-8">
To define the author of a page:
<meta name="author" content="Marusya">
To refresh document every 30 seconds:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">

All meta information goes inside the HEAD element, if there is one, or before the BODY tag.
