    When i try and put my meta tag into blogger, it comes up with an error like

    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


    or something like that and i cant figure out how to fix it. Can someone provide me with the correct coding or some way to fix this problem so i can add my tagging

    You should close the meta tag with a trailing slash like / just before the > so that it looks like f.i.
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    Code (markup):
    instead of
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" >
    Code (markup):

    Meta tag in html tag is not required tag when you are creating your web page...many pages don't use the tag at all..
    <meta name="something" content="something else">
    But you don't have need to close this meta tag...

    In blogger, you must use like this.
    <meta name="something" content="something else" / >
