HTML with EZ & Category Pages

I use MS Front Page to generate the code for my EZ pages and Category pages.
Should I include the following with the HTML for each-

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
</head>

Along with keywords and title for each page?

Thanks

Re: HTML with EZ &amp; Category Pages

NO!

1. You should avoid MS FrontPage whenever possible.

2. You should NEVER put any <head> ... </head> code (or any of the stuff in between) into an EZ-Page. Even the <body> tag should be avoided, because Zen Cart already puts a <body> tag onto the page. So you should ONLY use the content BETWEEN the <body> and </body> tags generated by your editor.

Thanks so much for the response. Why not Front Page? Do you have a suggestion on what I can use to generate the code?

Re: HTML with EZ &amp; Category Pages

Front Page, Word and other Microsoft programs tend to generate HTML loaded with extra/useless/proprietary code which bloats the output and may cause formatting problems when used outside a Microsoft environment. It will probably give warnings if run through an HTML validator, and Google doesn't like improperly coded pages.
