I recently put together my first site using xhtml and css, my question is should my meta tags be in caps or should those also be in lowercase like the rest of the tags in my code?

Thanks
Brandon

According to the standard [w3.org] ...

XHTML documents must use lower case for all HTML element and attribute names.

Doesn't really matter, seo-wise.

But it's good to be consistent; and for meta description and title, it's more attractive in the serps to use normal grammatical rules; capitalize first letter of each word in TITLE. And of the first word in each phrase / sentence in the DESCRIPTION

... but not for content?

hehe, no, not for content. Although I wouldn't suggest having the text for all of your content capitalized ;)

this is a question that I didn't realize should be asked. THanks for asking it!
