The <head> Section

This section is used to provide information that may affect the display and searchability of the document. A well designed web page can have the following elements in its <head> section.

The order in which these elements are declared occur is not generally important. However, there is one exception worth noting: If you mainly use external style sheets but want to override the external style specification on the odd occasion by using embedded styles you must ensure that the embedded style specification occurs after the external one(s).

As we mentioned earlier, in the interests of improving the search engine rankings for your site - and in order to provide useful search engine results to prospective visitors - every head section should always contain <title>title="text"</title> and <meta name="description" content="text"> specifications.
