Content and Keywords
This sounds like nothing important but it's the key to getting the search engines to link you to the browsers who are searching for you.
You'll find these lines in the <HEAD> sectionMETA NAME="Description" CONTENT="this is where you say in about 25 words what your site is about">This helps when you submit your pages to search engines as they read this to help put you in the right catagory and is often shown by the search engine when it gives you a choice of sites it has found. So if you don't have this line and the search engine selects you as a possible choice for someone's search they'll just see your web address which may tell them nothing.
META NAME="KeyWords" CONTENT="this is where you put keywords separated by commas">This is what most search engines use to decide if your sites a match when someone enters the keywords they're looking for. Put any word that you think someone looking for something on your site might use. Put any common missspelling of the words as well.
