Page descriptions and keyword/phrases

Thank you. Now a few last questions I have been looking for an answer today but cant seem to find anything solid. I have a header and footer page. 99% of my pages look for these two pages 1) Do I need to place Meta tags in them? 2) can I do that (cant seem to find much on that topic). The headers and footers dont seem to have the normal code as far as I can tell. The header pages top line with <body topmargin
etc then goes right to the stuff. No <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>. Etc. Thanks Jugg..

If your header is creating the first lines of your page, then must include:
DOCTYPE
<HTML>
<HEAD>
all the shit you want in the head
</HEAD>

You'll run into problems along the way, especially cross-browser, if you don't have the necessay coding to tell the browser what it is deciphering.

The footer must end the body and html.

The problem with having a universal header for most of your pages in the inability to customize the title, keywords, and description for the pages as the content changes from page to page.
