    I want to add a meta tag to by blog, but everytime I try it says:
    Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
    XML error message: The element type "meta" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".

    Here is my meta tag on my blogger page I took out the description and keywords


    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b' xmlns:data='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/data' xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Computer Advances</title>
    <meta name="description" content="----------------.">
    <meta name="keywords" content="---------------">
    </head>

    <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
    <b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
    <b:skin><![CDATA[/*

    Please help.

    <META name="description" content="----------------."></META>
    <META name="keywords" content="---------------"></META>

    Did you see? you have to close also the META tag.

    Here is what it looks like now. Now it says:
    The element type "html" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "". WTF

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    <head>
    <title>Computer Advances</title>
    <meta name="description" content="Get all of ---"></meta>
    <meta name="keywords" content="computer"></meta>
    <meta name="author" content="scott"></meta>
    </head>

    <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
    <b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>

    I just put </html> after </head> and a <html> before <head>

    The element type "html" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".

    Like this

    <html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b' xmlns:data='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/data' xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'>
    <html>
    <head>


    Remove this <html> just up to <head>. There is no need of it. It's already there <html xmlns=

    Just keep </html> in the last.

    Nope now it says

    The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.

    Put </head> tag just above the <body> and dont need to use </html> tag after this.

    Remove both </head> and </html> and put </head> just above <body> and </html> is already there in the bottom so remove this one
