All I need to do is close the head now and the stylesheet is all linked to the HTML correct?

CODE

<!DOCTYPE html Public “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN”
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" >
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> // what does this line say just wondering
    <meta name="author" content="Jacqueline Zinn" />
    <meta name="keywords" content="Jacqueline Zinn design, interior design, Chicago Interior Design,  display" />
    <meta name="description" content="Jacqueline Zinn Design reflects a luxury lifestyle with clean lines, warm layers and timeless designs.." />
    
    <title>Jacqueline Zinn Design</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="jz.css" type="text/css" media="all">

Yes. Though, if you don't care about getting the HTML to validate you could leave the head open. I suggest closing it.

It's just defining the content type of your page so browsers are meant to be able to interpret it easier, it also sets the character set that you're using. Browsers in reality don't particularly give a damn since they're used to crap code, but validators do.

Always note that this isn't the "real" content type nor character set that your page is being served in, since that's defined by the headers smile.gif

It tells the web browser what charset the document is using as well as what type of content is on the page (in this case plain text as well as HTML, which includes CSS and Javascript).
