It's probably debatable, but does anyone have an idea what the max characters for meta and title tags are? Or just a general idea like "Don't got over 500" Also, if anyone knows the importance of anchor tags, I would appreciate some advice. :flwr: Much love, thanks!

I don't think there would be a limit, just a longer load time. With bandwidth as abundant as it is today, thousands of characters probably won't even be a problem.

And the anchor tag is usually used to "anchor" text to a website, thereby creating a link. You can also anchor text within a website and link to it from somewhere else, either on the same page or externally. You anchor specific portions of text, then use # to specify the anchor in a link (http://www.bla.com/foo.html#bar), or if it's within the same page, a link to #bar is all you need. Anyway, the href attribute creates links to somewhere else, and the name attribute creates anchors to be linked to.

Code: <a name="bar">text to be "anchored"</a>

Then just link to it with #bar:

Code: <a href="#bar">link to #bar within the same document</a>

Basically just a way to navigate within a page...
