    ## Create Custom Meta Tags   
 
    
     
     
  
     
 
    
     
     
  
    Use custom meta tags to store data that you need in javascript, instead of hard-coding that data into your javascript.  I store my Google Analytics code in meta tags.  Here's some examples:  
 
    
     
     
  
     
 
    
     
     
  
    ```  html  
 
    
     
     
  
    <meta  name =" google-analytics"   content =" 1-AHFKALJ"  />  
 
    
     
     
  
    <meta  name =" disqus"   content =" abcdefg"  />  
 
    
     
     
  
    <meta  name =" uservoice"   content =" asdfasdf"  />  
 
    
     
     
  
    <meta  name =" mixpanel"   content =" asdfasdf"  />  
 
    
     
     
  
    ```  
 
    
     
     
  
     
 
    
     
     
  
    ## Company/Service Meta Tags
