Defining the Author Meta Tag

If you want to put your name on your document, <meta> tag gives you the power to do so. None of the search engines today make use of it, however you might like to add it anyway for the future or for other programmers.
  • Enter the <meta> tag into the head section, setting the name attribute to author and the content attribute to your name
Ex:
-----------------------------------
<head>
<title>
</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="Ray´s Guide to HTML, Guide, HTML, Hypertext Markup Language, HTML Tutorial">
<meta name="descrition" content="Ray´s Guide to HTML - An introductory guide for the beginner" />


<meta name="author" content="yourname">


</head>
-----------------------------------

Don´t forget the forward slash at the end of meta tag!

Note

You can find sites that offer to maintain your metadata for a small fee. This will give you better ranking and the increase the chances of your site to be the result of specific search. You should know that Google do not make use of metadata at all, being the most popular search engine today!
