Am I missing any? Should I add or remove any? What kind of things should I include for a business related to computer help and servicing? Can someone explain them, maybe one by one? Do you change them for each individual page (according to content)? Any tips? This is how I am planning to setup, but I just was wondering if I had it correct. Thank you in advance.

You can get an explination here at Dublin Core MetaData Initiative [dublincore.org].

They must have a specific usage and following. I have never seen them referenced before.

First of all, welcome to WebmasterWorld.

You don't need keywords in the comment tag at all, and most of the ones you have listed aren't necessary.

meta keywords isn't used much at all any more, but it's still good to include with the major keywords and phrases for the page, if only to hone in on the specific focus of the page.

meta description is good to use, some search engines use that as the description in their search results so it should entice clicks as well as include the major keyword phrases for the page.

A lot of people do use meta robots, but default is index,follow so it's not mandatory unless you want a page to *not* be crawled.

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

That's a good one to use, but the others aren't necessary and just load up the code.

Thanks for responding so quickly. That is already great info. Not sure I am using this board correctly. I post a query and 'then' go searching the web, then come back and check who has responded and with what. Hopefully this is an ok routine. I guess I will find out in a hurry ;)
