Html – SAXParseException in Blog Template: 'meta' tag not properly closed (XML Error)

I am not a coder at all, but I need some specific and to the point solution for the error which is outlined below:

"org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 120; columnNumber: 3; The element type "meta" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".

The image shown is a part of the xml code of a blogger.com template.

Please help me at your earliest.

Thanks and Regards,

Aquil

I have pasted the entire code for creating a blog in "blogger.com" and I am trying to get the solution of the error as mentioned in the image above (boxed in black) enter image description here

    It looks like maybe you need to close your <img> tag.

    like so: <img src="src-url-here" alt="alt-text-here" />

    that ‘/’ is important. You’ll generally always need it, if there’s no closing tag for the element.

    More detail:

    In XML/HTML, information is structured with the use of elements. elements are defined by starting and ending tags

    <p>this is a paragraph</p>

    Some elements don’t have anything that goes between the tags. For these, you can mostly use self-closing tags, which have the slash before the end of the tag, like so:

    <br/>

    the img tag can never have nested elements, so it is always a self-closing tag.

    There’s a difference between HTML and XML. In HTML, some elements (tags) such as img and meta are "empty by definition" and don’t need a closing tag. In XML all elements need to be explicitly closed, using either the notation <meta/> or <meta>...</meta>. It looks like your input is HTML, but you are trying to parse it with an XML parser.
