 * I’ve added a <meta> description and <meta> keywords tags to my index.php file…
   Everything is ok and the description shows on Google… BUT,
 * How do I entered individual Meta for individual posts?
 * The Codex did not explain where to enter this data and each post on Google has
   the main (index.php) meta tag information?
 * I know that All in one SEO pack doesn’t work and I can add the meta to individual
   posts myself — where and how would I do that?
 * Thanks everyone, cheers

 * If you’re not using a plugin then you would need to modify your theme header 
   so that there was a condition around the meta tags. Things like is_post() is_category()
   can be useful.

 * thanks, mrmist…
 * what other plugin aside from All-in-one SEO could I use to enter META for individual
   posts?
 * Also, “things like is_post…” doesn’t help me much, sorry, I’m not a PHP wiz and
   don’t know how to do that…
 * Some help would be great, I have a nice post that’s getting a lot of hits but
   the META isn’t correct (it is the meta for the index.php page)
 * Thanks!!!!

 * additionally, a lot of people claim meta-tags are irrelevant, but some SE’s still
   use them and other directory services as well…
 * that’ why i’d like to know how 🙂

 * I use [Head META Description](http://guff.szub.net/2005/09/01/head-meta-description/).
 * As for meta descriptions, it’s far better to have no meta descriptions than the
   same meta description on each page. If you can’t get a plugin to work for you,
   I’d recommend removing your static (index) meta description.
