I suppose it wouldn’t be that hard to write a function that included the first 100 or so characters from the post and displayed them in the description meta tag.

The question would be whether or not to roll it into the core files or make a plugin. I’m not that familiar with how the plugins work or if it is even possible. Making a core change would be difficult as well as there are many types of content, blog posts, files, pages, etc. I’ll look into it. They rolled my title tags into the core version of Elgg so maybe they would add meta tags as well.

Me personally, I’m not worried about meta tags. I don’t think they are very valid in SEO anymore. Besides the title tags, I’m more worried about the content of the page.

“We have managed to solve the above problem. Another SEO problem is that Elgg does not support meta tags either. Any thoughts?”

I mean the description meta tags that appear on Search Engine Results page and equally important for SEO as title meta tag.
