The head of a page can be used for many purposes. Nothing in the head is displayed. It is there for the browser to extract information about the rest of the page. In this page, the head is used to include meta-data. All web pages have meta-data. Meta-data describes the content of the page. It is used by browsers and web-crawlers. It gives you a chance to make your page more likely to be found in searches. Meta-data is placed in the HTML <head>..</head> element. It uses the <meta> tag. The "name=" and "content=" parts are properties of the meta-data. To add information that I am the author of this document, I used <meta name="author" content="Stewart Weiss"> There are various values that name can have. They include "author", "description", "keywords", "revisit-after", and others. You can define your own values too. The "institution" value is my own value -- it is not part of HTML. --> <body> <h1>Lesson 3: A Level 1 Heading</h1> <p> This page still does not look different from the first page in terms of how it is rendered by the browser. There is still new stuff that is only visible in the source code, but it is important. The source code contains a head element and meta-data. </p> </body> </html>
