Stacy,

Here are some Web pages, in no particular order, that may address your
META tag question.

1. HTML Writers Guild Meta FAQ at:

http://www.hwg.org/faqs/metaFAQ.html

2. Sandia Labs HTML Reference Manual entry:

http://www.sandia.gov/sci_compute/elements.html#META

3. from Woodhill Engineering Consultants:

http://www.woodhill.co.uk/html/html2v.htm#meta

4. From the Web Design Group:

http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/head/meta.html

5. From the Web Developer's Virtual Library (WDVL):

http://WWW.Stars.com/Authoring/HTML/Head/meta.html

6. Vancouver WebPages provides the Meta Tag Builder page at:

http://vancouver-webpages.com/VWbot/mk-metas.html

You imput your values, according to their queries, and their server
returns a generated META tag.  This site is often very busy, and is
mirrored from Drexel U. at:

Hope this helps.
