I would Like to know is this the correct way of Writing the Meta Tags

<meta name="Description" content="Description"></meta>
<meta name="Keywords" content="Keywords"></meta>

Welcome to WebmasterWorld! [webmasterworld.com]

in xhtml it should be:
<meta name="description" content="Description can be a bit longer" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Keyword, Keyword2, key word 3" />

in html it should be:
<meta name="description" content="Description can be a bit longer">
<meta name="keywords" content="Keyword, Keyword2, key word 3">

There's really no reason to use the meta keywords tag, though. It's a myth that search engines use them to rank pages. I have dozens of sites at the top of Google, all without meta keywords. Search Google for "death of a meta tag" and you'll see what I mean.
