    I am trying to validate my homepage using the W3C HTML Validator. Below is 
    my html source codes :
    
    <head>
    <title>New Page 1</title>
    <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
    <meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
    <meta name="Keywords" content="Mrs Yip's Homepage, genesiswong_2000, Tang 
    Dynasty, IKEA">
    <meta name="Description" content="This is Mrs Yip Yen Chin personal 
    webpages">
    </head>
    
    The following is the error reported by W3C validator:
    
    Line 9, column 0:
      <meta name="Description" content="This is Mrs Yip Yen Chin personal we ...
      ^
    Error: start tag was here
    
    Line 10, column 6:
      </head>
            ^
    Error: end tag for "META" omitted, but its declaration does not permit this
    
    What's wrong?  META generalise syntax is <META NAME="Description" 
    content="x"> and <META NAME="Keywords" content="x">.  META information 
    reside within <HEAD></HEAD>.
    
    Thnk for your help.
