Meta tags
« on: Sunday 19 June 05 16:56 BST (UK) » |

Can anyone help with the best place to position meta tags? I placed mine in the heading after the title but I then lost my background to my site!! 
Berlin Bob and Keith....Don't ask!! I think I'm turning into one of those people who has a highly developed skill for finding the wrong way of doing things!! 
Rather then referencing everything I have put an annotated bibliography in as a separate page. It sort of turned into a helpful page for basic sites for anyone starting out. I don't want to generate any problems with copyright. Could some more qualified than me have a look at it and check that I'm not treading on anyone's toes. I don't want anything to reflect on Rootschat!
I have referenced the census page on the page.
Just when you thought I'd gone quiet!! 
Jo

Hi Jocie,
That was the right place :
on my site I have them in this order, but I don't really know if it makes a difference:
<head>
<title>A Margulies Miscellania</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="author" contents="......... ">
<meta name="copyright" contents="......... ">
<meta name="date" contents="2005-02-10">
<meta name="description" contents="Family Chronicles of the Margulies-Remenyi, Benson-Kennedy, Stevenson-Ferrie and Coleman-Moore-Breeze Families (and others)">
<meta name="keywords" lang="en" contents="Family History,Genealogy">
<meta name="keywords" contents="Benson,Baxter,Breeze,Coleman,Ferrie,Hoey,Gardner">
<meta name="keywords" contents="Hopes,Kennedy,Lewis,Margulies,Malacek,Margoliot,Moore,Morrison">
<meta name="keywords" contents="Morser,Pearse,Remenyi,Richards,Riding,Stevenson,Vachre,Vatcher">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./mm-scr.css" media="screen">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./mm-prn.css" media="print">
</head>
But check out Keith Bateman's thread, too: Congratulations Rootschat Webspace!!
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,40326.15.html
especially replies #6 - #9 for some comments about "keywords"
Bob
ps.
Quiet is one thing, but don't ever go TOO quiet, we shall begin to worry about you

Hi again,
just had a look at your site, in particular, the sources page: nothing wrong there !!
I particularly liked your description of the last site:
Very easy to navigate, extremely helpful and fun. I have gained so much from the members of this site, not just information but also guidance on what to do and where to look.. Without their support and encouragement this website would still be a distant dream. That or the computer would have gone out of the window!!

What did you say it was called

Hi Jo,
Bob just beat me to it - I put mine after the Title Page - not sure why - had a look at some other sites and copied them!!
Mine does work as I have just had another contact who found my site thro a search engine - but it most probably could be better!!
I like your census page - don't know anything about copyright laws - but as you collected ALL the information yourself it should be OK!!
If I put mine on like that I think it would fill a few more pages!!
You start to do more things that are absolutely necessary - and yours is coming on well - when I looked thro your source page I realised what a lot of different places we all visit!
As Bob says - don't go "quiet" - let us know what's going on - good or bad!!
Cheers
Keith

Bob, Keith,
Thanks for the help.
Keith, I had peeped at your meta-tags as you use the same system, Second Site and Front Page. But when I put mine in the same place I lost the background!!.
It must be me...or the heat.
I'm working tomorrow and Tuesday so I'll try again on Wednesday.
Don't worry I won't go too quiet...I've got a reputation to keep up!! I make the errors for others to learn from
Thanks for the advice about the sources page I thought it just might help others.
As for the census Keith that's only one branch of my lot loads more lurking in the background
Jo

Thanks Bob
I'm grateful for that.
Piece Folio and Page number will be added.
I'm quite happy writing essays with all appropriate sources and bibliography etc. I just feel it's a bit over the top to put that much on here. I think that's what worries me. I don't want to take short cuts and generate problems for Rootschat.
Jo
