[thelist] Using Meta tags in CSS

Yes, I see.  I was thinking since the meta tags and the css files are found in the head that viewing the page would go to the style sheet and read the meta tag information there for every page.    What is an include file?  As you can see I'm pretty new at anything more than html.
Thanks,
Alice

	hi alice

	not sure what you're asking

	meta tags go in the <head>..</head> and so does the css

	you cannot move them out of the page, like you can move a big honking style
	sheet from embedded in the html file out to an external, linked, css file

	linking a style sheet has numerous advantages, of which two are that the
	body content is closer to the top of the html file, and the linked css file
	can be cached by the browser

	actually, you, the developer, can move meta tags out, into an include file,
	but when the html file is served to the browser, the include file is, um,
	included -- my apologies if that last part was not clear, holler if you
	want more detail
