Well anyway, I’ve moved to the beach since my last post, and I’ve had to delay a ton of projects, as I’ve gained some meaningful work for a client, and I’m only one Internet Madman and therefore my time must be carefully managed, but I was noticing some meta tags on the New York Times website, (Not a fan of the NY Times) (to lefty for me…) and wondered if anyone had any meaningful insight as to the validity of these tags.

After all they are a newspaper, and not I’m sure they’re more intended as extra data just to have extra data, but Post your comments if you have something to say about them. I’ve posted the tags for your reference. Thanks in advance for any info.

I’ve noticed they have some Trim() or Alltrim() or TrimLeft() or whatever code their content management system might be using issues!

Please do not try to post any political opinion here as in reply to the fact that I don’t care for the NY-based Newspaper.
