Meta descriptions

I just found out I missed putting meta descriptions on 5 of my blog posts. I know better than this. We have to take our time and make sure we take every precaution so we do not forget things. Granted, Site Content is great, but we can’t just write and then just publish to our sites.

Another thing, we have to do our research before installing plugins. I installed one to automatically post to my social media. It only posted to my home page and I had to share. What if I had set up the scheduler and never checked it. I am just glad I didn’t pay for it.

Another thing, we have to live our lives. After fixing these problems I am just going to relax until tomorrow. No midnight oil burning tonight.

I understand. Shame on me too. Now. Question? About auto posting to social media. I received an email last night about a blogger poster system but am confused on how to use it and/or if it's good?

it is pretty simple go search for the rating of such products.

Is there any good social media sysdication plugin out there that is google friendly for our blogs? I mean one that will not hurt ones' rankings?

Check out Super Socializer. Pretty good.

Thank you mate for sharing

Thank you for sharing.

We miss so many things as there is so much to do and sometime we just have to learn to chill out for a bit!!!!

It's not as easy as that, Mike.
Checking all those little and bigger points before publishing pays off in the long run.
I'm sure you knew that, and didn't me to tell you ! Lol.

Friday night webinars are a blast!

Okay, I'm confused again, nothing new there! It was, is my understanding that the meta description was automatically filled in for us with the SEO that WA provides for us from our first paragraph of post.Have I Listened or read wrong again?

Karen, you’re right meta description is automatically updated once you published it. For safety purpose and perform double check on the snippet. But for me, I rewrite the meta description again to make it more appealing with CTA. Remember to include your keyword in the meta description and limit to 150 words.

Thank you.

it is best that you make your meta description because you can make it more atractive in the search engine, it is the first thing your audience will read

You have listened & read it correctly @Memorylaneuk! As per @ShueHyen mentioned below

If it just fills it out itself there will be a half sentence and not be what your page is about.

Ah! Yes correct - I remember that now when I was doing one of my pages on a new site -
Thanks @mikewood1975

Yoast Seo will warn you if you do not write meta descriptions.

Do things, double check them and then calling it a night is the best way to handle all of the many things life and success throw our way.

It's always good to double check and make it a habit. Otherwise we end up not knowing if things are done properly, or working the way they should be.

I have found some big problems by checking, and it may not be on our part some of the time. Glitches happen, for example when WordPress gets an update...my links and banners get messed up!

I'm at the point where I don't want to update WP next time.

As for taking a break and relaxing, today I took off at 9:00 am and returned just before 7:00 pm on purpose!

Content is only part of the picture Mike!
