Page-specific meta tags (feature request?)

As far as I can tell, the only way to add keywords to a GL page is to put the appropriate meta tags into the header.thtml of the theme. However, when I built my site using Dreamweaver+templates, I could create a template but then add different Keywords and Description tags for every page individually. I\'d like to be able to do this again. While that may seem odd for a blog, GL is really getting used for a lot of other things, like my company site, and in fact a lot of my pages are fairly static. I use the staticpages and external pages plugins for a bunch of my pages. In fact, I was working under the wrong assumption that with static pages, when I filled in the keywords field, those keywords would show up in a meta tag in the html. Then I checked and found out that they don\'t. If I fill in keywords for a field, seems like it would be nice if they became keywords in the page itself, not just the db for GL to search on. So for starters, would it be possible for the \"keywords\" of the staticpages to appear in the metadata of the page? And for longer term, what about page-specific metadata as an option? thanks Tom Summit Media Partners

Yes and no Mr. Green Yes, because Geeklog 1.3.8 has a new function in the plugin API that could be used for that. And no because the Static Pages plugin 1.3 doesn\'t support the keywords any more.

If you mean \"longer term\" as in \"Geeklog 2\" ... bye, Dirk

hmm.. is it easy to put the title of a story as the title tag so it will change with each story?

It already does that, in case you haven't noticed ...
