The link "few tips on how to do this" will have examples.

The best way to declare the encoding of your web pages is through the  
configuration of your server:
http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset

Alternatively, you can indeed put that information in a meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

The example you found was XHTML. It ended with /> which is specific  
to XHTML.
For HTML 4.01, use the construct I pasted above.
