17 - Use of web site personalized W3C images: W3C do not allow 'altering' of their images. This does not cover the creation of another image. What would fit there is the section on the W3C icon - and even that, only loosely. One cannot use W3C logos in a 'disparaging' manner only in the intention they were originally set up for by W3C. The graphics on the W3C buttons are copyright protected. The title 'W3C' and 'World Wide Web Consortium' are registered trademarks therefore if you create your own button the design or graphic it cannot resemble the W3C button as that would be copyright infringement. You also cannot use the text 'W3C' or 'World Wide Web Consortium' as that would violate trademark rights. W3C view modifying their images as making them larger, smaller, changing the color or the actual W3C logo itself.

19 - What are Meta Tags? Meta Tags are information inserted into the 'head' area of your web pages. Other than the title tag information in the head area of your web pages is not seen by those viewing your pages in browsers. Instead, the meta information in this area is used to communicate information that a human visitor may not be concerned with. Meta tags, for example, can tell a browser what 'character set' to use or whether a web page has self-rated itself in terms of adult content. A valuable feature they offer the web site owner is the ability to control to some degree how their web pages are described by some search engines. They also offer the ability to prevent pages from being indexed at all. These are only a few samples of what Meta Tags can provide.
