Help with meta tags

Hi,

I'm sure this is very simple...

but then again, so am I

I uploaded a script last night and i wanted to add a bit of meta discription for the search engines.

Currently, this is what's in the script just after the head tag...

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Can I alter that to add a simple meta description so that anyone browsing the SEs can read what i want them to read?

I've already amended the title tags to my satisfaction

Thanks in advance

    This description should be another meta tag, not added to the same one shown above. Take a look a this article, and see how the description meta tag is separate from the others.

      Thank you awesometbn that's very helpful,

      So, I'll insert the following code immediately after the other meta tag refered to?

      <meta name="description" content="What i want the SEs to display" />

    Also note there are many other meta information you can add, like...
    Code:
    <meta name="keywords" content="your,keywords,go,here" />
<!-- GEO information. If your website has a store-front business this can be useful to tell the search engines where you're located. -->
<meta name="geo.region" content="US-CA" />
<meta name="geo.placename" content="Los Angeles, CA" />
<meta name="ICBM" content="33.995136, -117.882071" />
<meta name="DC.title" content="Your Business Name/Title" />
<!-- Search engine specific. -->
<meta name="googlebot" content="index,follow" />
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
<meta name="Revisit-After" content="2 days" />
<!-- Author/Copyright information. -->
<meta name="author" content="Your Name" />
<meta name="copyright" content="Your Name" />
