 * Hi,
 * Wouldn’t it be a great idea to use the Meta Description of a post as a possible%
   VARIABLE% in the Post Format.
 * I use Yoast SEO to set up a Meta Description, but any SEO plugin would do to 
   generate a Meta Description which you could use in the Post Format.
 * Perhaps you can include this awesome feature in a future update? Thanks and keep
   rockin’ 🙂

   > specified name. (example: if your price is stored in the custom field “PRDPRICE”
   > you will need to use %CF-PRDPRICE% tag)
 * %CF-_yoast_wpseo_metadesc% will get you Meta Description from Yoast SEO.
