The number represents the number of seconds your browser waits before
retrieving the URL specified, so 1800 and 10800, if I'm doing my math
correctly.

Let me strongly recommend an HTML help site for people struggling with
things like this: <URL:http://www.htmlhelp.com> and specifically for this
one <URL:http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/head/meta.html>.  People
with access to Usenet should also check out
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html and hang on every word uttered by
Arnoud "Galactus" Engelfriet, Alan J. Flavell, and Warren Steel.
