HTML Tutorial 09 - Head Title and Meta Tags Video Lecture | HTML Basics- Create a designed webpage from Scratch - Software Development

hello everyone this is Brian again and
if you're following along in the
tutorials this is the ninth video on
HTML today we'll be talking about the
head tag little interesting
unfortunately most of this is non visual
so don't expect any eye candy to start
we want to create the start of the head
and the end now what this does is allows
you to define certain properties about
your page including meta tags and meta
is data about data one thing you can do
is the title and we'll just enter the
title tags here and the title is
actually the title of the page so we'll
say welcome to my page save this and
flip over to our website now you notice
how nothing's really changed except for
the title now says welcome to my page
that is the title tag now there's a
whole lot of tags called meta tags and
I'm not going to type all these out I'm
just going to cheat and copy and paste
them as you can see there is a lot of
them and there's a lot more than what
I'm displaying here
now remember meta tags are just data
about data it's data about your page it
starts with meta and then the parameter
of name I'm sorry the attribute of name
in this case it's keywords and then
content so you can define the keywords
for your page I hope if I could spell
today and then another one would be
description
a generator typically this is the
program that you generated this with
we're writing this by hand so it's
really irrelevant but you see how it
says HTML webmaster 3 I actually wrote a
program a long time ago called webmaster
3 in HTML - Helper calm that I still do
coffee cup software but that's
irrelevant for this we're just going to
put none author me copyright this is
where you could put things like you know
the copyright for the page my company
whatever you want to put now resource
type this is the document there are
different resource types and we don't
really go to in depth into them but you
can have different types of resources
out on the internet this specifically is
a document a web document revisit after
this tells certain spiders like Google
how many days revisit this we're going
to say every 30 days come back check the
page for changes classification content
internet distribution global you can
actually section this down to certain
countries certain regions rating general
these tags aren't really used that much
but they can be helpful language content
you know English United States robots
content all that tells robots such as
you know Google and Yahoo to or not to
spider your web pages now we'll save our
work and it looks like we made a lot of
changes but when we visit our page and
hit f5 nothing's changed
once again that's because the head
section is all about defining your page
what it is why it's there who wrote it
what's the copyright what's its rating
what language is it in most things in
the head section will not impact the way
your page displays now with the
exception of course of cascading style
sheets and JavaScript which we'll be
covering much later thank you for
