Plugin: Meta SEO URL: http://habariproject.org Version: 0.5 Author: Habari Project
Purpose
Meta SEO performs several search engine optimization tasks for you. It will:
1.Generate a description meta tag and inject it into the head of a page. Descriptions are created for your home page, individual post pages, and static pages. For your home page, it will use the description you entered on the plugin's configuration page. For entry and static pages, it adds the option to create a description on the publish page. If you enter your own description, this will be used to create the description meta tag. If you don't the first part of the post will be used to create the tag.
Requirements
The theme must call $theme->header() in its head template.
Installation
Usage
If your theme, usually in the header template, contains a description, keywords, or robots meta tag, back up the template that contains them, then delete them from your working copy of the template.
Configuration for Meta SEO is performed by clicking the Configure button in its listing on your plugins page. The configuration screen has two main sections - the home page options, and the robots tag options.
Home Page - Use the configuration screen to set the description and keywords you wish to use for your home page. These default to your blog's tagline and the first 50 tags you have in your blog.
Robots Tag - Meta SEO sees your site as having four main types of pages: the home page, individual posts and static pages, archive pages, and other pages such as search results and the 404 page. The robots tag for the other pages is always set to not index the page, but to follow the links on the page. Use the configuration screen to tell Meta SEO how to create the robots tag for the first three type of pages. If the Index checkbox is marked, the robots tag will contain 'index'. Otherwise, it will contain 'noindex'. If the Follow checkbox is marked, the robots tag will contain 'follow'. Otherwise, it will contain 'nofollow'.
After you're done making your configuration changes, click the 'Save' button at the bottom of the form to save the changes. The main part of the form will close. Click the 'Close' button to completely close the form.
Individual Post and Static Pages - Meta SEO adds a new form to Habari's publish page that is accessed by clicking the Meta SEO button. When the form opens, you will have options to enter a new title, keywords, and description for the entry. If you do so, these will be used to generate the meta tags for the entry. If you leave any empty, MetaSEO will generate the tags from the entry's regular title, tags, and the beginning of its content.
