Meta Tags A meta tag is information stored within the HTML heading tag that provides a description and the keywords of a particular webpage. Notice the example below I took from my WA site. Within the <head> ...... </head> tags, the <meta charset=.... is referring to the character set of the content within the blog (my website). The next one down is <meta name= ... which is calling a value by the name of viewport and assigning a width to it.

Hi Steph, thanks so much for this the information is invaluable. There are a couple of other terms I see being mentioned but am unsure what they are - backlinks and meta bar. Would you be able to explain these for me please?
Thanks! Stacey

I could do that. Thank you for the heads up. It is hard to remember all of them when first getting it started. I am hoping more people will contribute add'l words for me to add so the list can grow. :)

I will add backlinks and metadata.

I noticed that too and when I first published this resource there was much more of those special characters. It is not HTML. HTML looks like <html> ....<head>...</head>....<body>...</body>...</html>

These are some special characterization and I do not know what is causing them. I have to go and edit them individually.
