I put in two meta tags in my index.html as follows:

<head>
<TITLE>Jane Austen Society of North America - IL and IN</TITLE>
<meta name=&quot;description&quot; content=&quot;Promoting the study and appreciation of the writings of Jane Austen&quot;>
<meta name=&quot;keywords&quot; content=&quot;Jane Austen, Austen, female writer, female author, author, writer, Regency Era&quot;>
</head>


Lo and behold, when I access the page, it shows up totally blank. Nothing. Nada. Complete white space. What did I do wrong and what happened?

Thanks,
Mary B

 
Is there anything in the body of the page? If not, then there's the problem. If there is, I can't see what the problem would be in this section of code. My guess is that it could be a missing &quot;>&quot; or a quote.

There is a huge body of code. I'll take a gander and see if I can find some unruly quotes or parens. I tried plugging in metas from a different working page and same problem.
Thanks,
Mrs B
 
Resolved it. My index.html file was a file I had been messing around with. Subsequently I deleted the body statement which wreaked havoc! THanks to all for help.
