Quick Entry GuideWhat's This? What Do I Need? When creating your web page, you need to be sure to include the title tag in the header. If you use an HTML authoring program it will generally do this automatically for you, since it is a required element in HTML according to W3.org specifications. Secondly, you should include the description meta-tag in your header. It is a good practice to do this in any case, since some search engines use the description meta-tag to describe your page. If you use Shared RSS Quick Entry this will also be the RSS feed description, so you may want to make it longer, more detailed and informative than you normally would. Put the most important information first, so that if a search engine uses only part of the description it will include that information. If you leave out the description tag, your RSS entry will only show the title, with no description. Here is an example of the title and description tags from this page's header: <html> Note: Titles and meta tags may contain 'entities' such as > for the > symbol, but no other mark-up. The description content should be enclosed by quotation marks -- if you want a quotation mark to appear inside the description, use the " entity.
