Search engines like Google read the information in the <meta> tags on a web page to work out what is on the page.
We're going to use the <meta> tag to tell them who wrote a page, using the name="author" attribute.

add this <meta> tag between the <head> tags on the page
```
<html>
 <head>
  <title>My Page</title>
  <meta name="author" content="Freya"/>
 </head>
```
Warning
Make sure you don't put your full name or contact details in the meta tag.
You just want to let the search engines have an idea who made the page, not allow someone on the internet to track you down and annoy you.
when you save the code and open the page in a browser, you won't see any difference.
But Google and other search engines will be able to see when the page was last changed.
