ThatJeeves Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hello.I used to handcode my sites but I'm a bit uncertain nowadays as to which tags in the head to use. I felt that there might be legal issues when picking the tags. Could someone provide the basic head tags (meta tags, language, charset) and doctype (preferably for html 4.01)? I would be most grateful. By the way, could you also include a stylesheet-link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 This is typical: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"><html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"> <title>My Page</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="path/to/mystyle.css"> </head>... And of course you can add an internal style sheet and/or script(s) if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synook Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Do you mean SEO issues? It's not technically illegal to try and subvert search engine ranking algorithms, I believe, though it will get you downranked. Just don't overload on keywords (the keyword meta tag isn't really used any more) and you will probably be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
