What does a meta-tag look like:

These are some example meta-tags:

<meta name="description" content="Adding pictures to your blog without using gadgets" />

<meta name="keywords" content="HTML,images, filestore, picture" /> 

<meta name="author" content="Mary Smith" />

Each one has two parts (in technical terms, this arrangement is called a "name/value pair"):

1. some text that says what the meta-tag is about  (eg description, author)
2. some text that contains the value for this case (eg  "Mary Smith")

This idea has been used in other ways too - instead of "name" some meta-tags use other values, like

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />  

If you look at your blog's template, you may find that there are already meta-tags there, which Blogger added to every post and page.   For example in Blogger-HAT's template I can see:

<meta content='some-verification-codes-from-Google' name='google-site-verification'/>

<meta content='IE=EmulateIE7' http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible'/>

<b:if cond='data:blog.isMobile'>
      <meta content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0' name='viewport'/>
<b:else/>

The first is a verification tag from webmaster central that I added a long time ago, while the others are meta-tags that Blogger developers decided would be good to have.
