 * Hi there,
 * I’m wondering if someone can walk me through the proper steps to configure this
   plugin. I would like to ensure that in Google Search results, that the description
   of the website appears correctly. It would be great if an image was also displayed.
   Where do I set site wide meta information like the description of the website?
   Under the Home tab in settings there is a “meta description template” field, 
   why is it called a template? How do I correctly configure template fields?
 * What other options should I configure?
    Is there a particular ebook/website article
   to read?
 * Thanks so much,
