META Positioning - Important?

    Hey everyone,
    Using WordPress, I've asked around and a few people have told me you can't customize META on each individual page (maybe they're full of crap, I'm not sure).
    Anyway, I've figured a way around it, but I can only make my meta keywords/descrip appear about halfway down the source code on each page.
    Does this make a difference? Whether the META isn't placed at the top of the code for each page?
    Thanks,
    Miek

    Also - sorry if this doesn't belong in the SEO topic, I wasn't sure.

    If it's for a page, you can juse use a differnt page template that at the beginning of the code calls for a different header. I'm not sure if you can have multiple "post" templates though, but you can definately do it for a page, cause i've done it before. (Differnet headers, not meta, but same concept)

    Regards,
    Nick

    Have a look at the extend page on the Wordpress website. Currently All in One SEO Pack is listed as one of the most popular plug-ins.

    Ohh, I didn't think about the seo pack at all. It's probably a good idea, though you are limited to the meta keywords you can use to what categories your post is in, i think, so it's all up to you :p

    Why not? It seems thhat meta tags is SEO related issue. I think that they must be in the top of the page.
