OK. Here's what I came up with.

Is everything in the right order?


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>

<title>Lawns By The Best Landscaping</title>

<meta name="Subject" content="Landscaping">
<meta name="Description" content="The online home of Lawns By The Best Landscaping. Serving your residential and commercial landscaping needs. Inexpensive but done right. ">
<meta name="Keywords" content="lawn service,lawn mowing,landscape maintenance,lawn care,lawn,mowing,lawn mowing service,snow removal,fall clean up,lawn landscaping company">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="LBTB.css" type="text/css">
</head>

nowadays I only bother with the title and description tags. Meta tags really have no influence on rankings anymore - search engines are far more advanced nowadays, they no longer need meta tags.

yep <title> which is not a meta tag actually but is the most important tag for SEO and meta description are the useful ones. Include a keywords meta for the odd one that uses it but don't waste too much time thinking about it

whoops, there you go, that was enough

robots meta is an exclusion method, so only needed to instruct compliant bots not to do something
The rest, unless you have a internal reason to use them, such as documenting your site don't even bother.

revist-after was also an exclusion, instructing the bot not to return for at least x days. Only one now defunct SE was known to use this.

Robert if you do away with the meta Subject what you came up with in your second post is fine. Like Chris said the keywords meta tag isn't too important though the occasional search engine will still use. Just don't spend too much time worrying about them.
