i found a meta tag generator, and this is what it spat out at me

Code:

<META NAME="Author" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Subject" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Classification" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Geography" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Language" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Expires" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Copyright" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Designer" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Publisher" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Revisit-After" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Distribution" CONTENT="">

<META NAME="Robots" CONTENT="">

<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="">

<META http-equiv="Pragma" content="">

<META NAME="zipcode" content="">

<META NAME="city" content="">

<META NAME="State" content="">

<META NAME="country" content="">

<META NAME="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="">

<META http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="">

<META http-equiv="Robots" content="">

Now, how many of these do you use? how many are useless and can you think of an important one that's been missed out?

This might be interesting...

I don't see this one:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Most of those are useless Northie and I agree with DMX about the missing one!

I agree with both of you.

I was just sort of surprising that someone put the time and effort into making the thing.

A really cool meta tag generator would be one that spidered your site and recommended unique text for the keywords and descriptions for each url.....

....might have a go at that one day............ glad
