 * Where is the meta description box? It used to be there and now it’s gone. I’d
   prefer to have it back as an option.

 * It’s still there but now you just click on it. So hover over the meta description
   that’s showing, click on it and you should be able to change it.

 * OK and that is exactly my point. If you look at the second “red light” it clearly
   states that “no meta description has been specified”. If something is typed in
   there why does it get a “red light” on that item?
