Ok hopefully this wont be so hard.

What do I put inside of my (meta http) code in the beginning of my website?
CODE
Example: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><meta http-equiv="WHAT GOES HERE?" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><title>TITLE GOES HERE</title>


Do I put in words for search options or do I put in a word that describes my page? Such as About or Contact.


Thank You

Mary

In your example, you should put in "content-type". But you don't really need the <meta> tags at all.

The <meta http-equiv> tags just add or modify an HTTP header. If you don't know what HTTP headers are, don't worry about it, because you probably don't need to change them anyway.
