last question.......about different kind of meta tags

I promise this is the last question on metatags, I know Its not much fun to help others.

<meta name="keywords"
<meta name="description"
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language"
<meta name="publisher"
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="distribution"
<meta name="classification"
<meta name="page-topic"

Whats the diference between a meta name, a meta http? and other question, are the words inside the quotation marks, such as keywords, description, classification, something that tells the search engines what to do? or are thos something for a human to read? in other words, are they comments or actual code?? and if so, what are the function exactly? whats their purpose exactly, thanks.

they just specify what it is, and how that info should be handled, what MT stands by, which parameters, thats it, just search for meta tag, there are plenty explanations in depth on this subject.

but again meta data should carefully used, it has to represent overview of the content of the page.

Actually, it is fun helping others, we wouldn't do it if it wasn't!

See if this helps any.

right on : )
