    This is a good one! I have always seen the meta tag while playing around with HTML or CSS, but it wasn't until recently that I actually took the time to learn what it was for. I love your blog, and respect the time you take to educate bloggers!

    yeah… meta tag is important to be crawl with spiders and crawlers that visit your site. how much important meta tag until now? very important or not? how about meta tags in the future?

    or maybe with questions mark “the death of meta tags?” really?
