    I've been trying to find a decent meta tag generator for my wordpress blog but can't seem to find a decent one that automatically generates the description for each post. Can anyone recommend one to me?

    Why waste your time? Meta is next to useless

    ahkip, meta keyword yes, but not meta description.

    You can manually edit your template files to include the meta description, that's what I've done

    frankcow, if you do that manually on WP blog all the meta description for all pages is the same. Not cool :)

    If you use the plugin that I gave you, it will excerpt few bits from your content and add it as content to meta description.

    I use xFish. It adds two fields (description and keywords) to the write post page so you can set them as desired. No hassle, just upload the file and activate in your plugins screen.

    :confused: :confused: :confused: I modified the template to pick up the post excerpt and display it as the meta description

    therefore each one is different

    frankcow, my mistake. I thought yours is the that 'one' meta description for all pages.

    I see that u make your own but the problem with your code it's doesn't strip the HTML tags. Probably need some enhancement.

    GTech, thanks for sharing.
