date meta tag
 

DATE meta tag

The HTML specification doesn't detail a date meta tag. Adding it to your files wont break anything but it will allow you to make rssFeedFolder tools ignore the published dates of your files (which is handy for example if you use FrontPage or you just went in to fix a typo).

The rssFeedFolder program reads the date meta tag if it is there and uses the last modification date of the file if the tag isn't there.

So, now we know what it is and why we'd use it, how do we actually implement it.

The syntax for the date meta tag is as follows:

 
    <HTML>    
    <HEAD>    
    <meta name="date" content="Wed Dec  5 15:30:00 EST 2007">    
    </HEAD>    
    <BODY>    
    ...
    </BODY>    
    </HTML>    
    

Just update the date in our example with the date you want the feed to use for the file you are adding it to.
