Yes, or that was the original purpose. Keywords are pretty much outdated. The use of meta keywords stems from the time when search engines could only index a limited number on words on each page. That hasn't been the case for a long time. SEs have no reason to use keywords anymore, especially since thay've been used for spamming, and basically they don't.

To tell people who the autor of the page is. You don't need to use any of the Meta stuff if you don't want to.

In this case it's used to link a style sheet to the page.

aha thanks. so what sould i tipe to link rel?

The URL to your style sheet, if you have one. If you don't use a style sheet, you don't need the tag.

yes i know but...what is style sheet smile.gif
pandy
A way of applying formatting to your HTML. For example, instead of writing <font face="" size="" color="">...</<font> all over the place, you can declare the same thing once in your style sheet and it's good for your whole site.

As I said, if you don't use CSS you don't need the LINK tag either.
