Add Meta Descriptions

What's this?

This plugin will automatically create meta description tags for Category, Album and Image pages based on the information you have entered into the description field. It will use cat. and album titles as a fallback if the description field is empty. Page numbers are also listed when needed to help with avoiding duplicate content.

Configuration allows for customized description meta for the Home, main Album List and Search pages.

The plugin will be most effective when you add descriptions to your content and pages.

New in version 1.3. It will now add link rel="canonical" href= your_pages to all Meta type of displayimage pages. This will tell search engines which page is most important - not the META page, but the original image page.
