Meta-Tags, I say use them.

Do use the title tag and meta-tags alike to name, describe, and assign keywords to your webpages.

This article on Meta-tags will explain to you what each is for, and how to properly use them.  It has been said by some experienced webmasters that meta-tags are a thing of the past and are not worth the time.  I would disagree, Google, the most widely used search engine right now, still references these tags, so I use them, and use them well.  Also, it’s important to have a title, and one that is keyword rich. instead of “home” try something like “KerriCummins.com, Massachusetts Website Design and Search Engine Optimization” Don’t make it too long or too short. About eight words is good.

Follow this link to learn all about how to use Meta-tags, (“How to use HTML Meta Tags” by Danny Sullivan)and you might check out it’s links to the debate over the neccessity of meta-tags these days.
