As a matter of practicality, the more widely used tags such as "description" and "keywords" have been omitted, as they are already included via wide variety of plugins (such as "All in One SEO") in a more dynamic way. Even so, adding "description", "keyword", or any other tags is easy from the plugin's settings page. Note: the metadata output via this plugin applies to the entire site. == Installation == **Installation** 1. Upload the plugin to your blog and activate 2.
