Metatags

Below is the current makeup of my meta tags, could I improve this layout in any way or have I got it correct?

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<TITLE>SITE NAME- keyword 1 | keyword 2 | keyword 3 | keywork 4</TITLE>
<LINK REV="made" href="mailto:admin@email.com">
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="you can fit about 255 chars in here">
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="this shows up on most search engiens">
<META NAME="author" CONTENT="your name">
<META NAME="distribution" CONTENT="Global">
<META NAME="revisit-after" CONTENT="1 days">
<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="FOLLOW,INDEX">

I link I got of Nighty on IRC which is pretty good to test them out.

You've got the basics, but there are a lot more that you can add.

If I get some time over the weekend I'll update our meta-tag generator and post a link. One of the things that the W3C standard doesn't seem to like anymore are upper case tags for META - no idea why...

They don't like UPPERCASE tags because XML is cace sensitive, and xhtml is an xml implementation. They had to chose either upper or lower case for tags, and they chose lowercase. I don't know why they chose it.

They also seem to have made it obligatory for the HTML versions to work as well... ah well

I fixed the output on the Meta-Tag generator:

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Sorry about tgat, but I haven't had a chance to translate the Fireball Meta-tags.

When I have a chance I'll try and do that and add a few more
