Issue Context

Best Practices agree that we should format HTML in a way that enables crawlers to better understand your app’s content.
Currently the document does not have a meta description. Meta descriptions may be included in search results to concisely summarize page content. We should also include keywords and author meta tags.

Suggested Solution

In the head of the index.html file in the public folder

  • Add a meta description using the text in the about section of the quarto main page
  • Add a meta keywords section using the tags in the about section of the quarto main page
  • Add an author meta tag with the author name as "Kirk Shillingford"

Alternatives Considered

Not sure if there are other keywords to be considered for SEO optimization That might also be something to research.
