help - my html code lines are breaking on their own

[lucasthedog]

I'm a newbie but i'm working hard.

I'm trying to enter my meta tags (description, maybe keywords) but when I write the line (or cut & paste) the editor automatically chops it up.

 

When I put in

Kompozer turns it into:

name="description">

 

I'm no HTML expert but this looks like it's going to cost me on the SEO side.

 

any thoughts would be greatly appricated.

Are you sure it isn't simply wrapping the lines strangely? This won't have any effect from an SEO standpoint -- white space like that is ignored.

thanks for respoding.

 

I wouldn't be so concerned since I didn't press enter but it seems to be pulling out text from the middle (name="description") and putting that on the next line.

Just a guess, but could it possibly be treating these

 

content="put your page description here"

 

and

 

name="description"

 

as one long statement and wrapping them individually? What happens when you add spaces around the "=" in both cases?

 

As I said though, this won't affect SEO or anything to do with how the website displays.
