META Tag Generator

Introduction

This is a ColdFusion application for generating HTML Meta Tags based on user input.

The source code of web pages typically consists of something like the following:

<html>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css">
<title>META Tag and HTML Generator</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, WWW, META, tag, tags">
<meta name="description" content="A JavaScript program for generating Meta Tags and HTML.">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css">
</head>
<body>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h1>META Tag and HTML Generator</h1>
</div>
<p>This is a web page containing a JavaScript program for generating Meta Tags and HTML.</p>
</body>
</html>

The Form

This ColdFusion application is provided to simplify the process of generating the Meta tags.

Don't be overwhelmed with these choices for the Head portion of a web page. Most of these META tags are rather obscure and rarely used. The only tags you need concern yourself with are Title, Site Description, and Keywords. In most situations, it's safe to ignore the rest and leave the defaults selected. Most of the time, you can omit most of the resulting META tags from your final document. Otherwise, you can place the resulting tags in between your <head> and </head> tags.

Title

Site description
Input a description of your site for Search Engine indexing
(200 character limit including white space.)

Keywords
Select the keywords which you'd like search engines to use to index your site.
Place commas between your keywords and avoid repetition.

Author

Email
The contact person's e-mail address
