Working with HTML Head Tags
Each page contains information about the document in the head section. You can set the properties of head elements to control how your pages are identified on the Web by search browsers. You can insert the following head tags: meta, keywords, description, refresh, base, or link. A meta tag records information about the current page, such as encoding, author, copyright, or keywords. The keywords and description tags record information many search engines, such as Google or Yahoo, look for to create an index for your page for use in their search results databases. For the best results, specify a few descriptive keywords and a short description for a page. The refresh tag specifies the amount of time before the page is refreshed in a browser. The base tag sets the base URL that all document-relative paths in the page use. The link tag defines a relationship between the current page and another file. After you insert a head tag, you can always make changes and adjustments by using the head content, selecting the head element, and making changes in the Properties panel.
