Did you know this about Meta Tags?

Oh, how much I still have got to learn!! It’s just about 1 year since I joined WA, and still I often feel like a Newbie.


Today I read a post written by AussiJeff, that made me realize this:

Every page or post has its own “Meta Discription Attribute”. I thought that we only could fill in the meta tags on the “General Setting”-page in WordPress. But you can and you must fill it in at each and every page.

There are four major kind of Meta Tags, and these are:

Meta Keywords Attribute - A series of keywords you deem relevant to the page in question.

Title Tag - This is the text you'll see at the top of your browser. Search engines view this text as the "title" of your page.

Meta Description Attribute - A brief description of the page.

Meta Robots Attribute - An indication to search engine crawlers (robots or "bots") as to what they should do with thepage.

If you want to dig deeper, here is the link:

Here you can have look at Jeffs post:

Why haven’t I realized this until now. I suppose this is just basics in the online world. Oh, I feel quite a bit stupid. But even though this stupid feeling I don’t want to withhold you this information. There may be some species out there in the WA space, who don’t know this either, especially speaking to the newcomers now.

Only one way to go, straight forward to success,

overcome embarrassing feelings and

ask, ask,ask,

learn, learn, learn,

share, share, share

care, care, care!

Never call yourself stupid!! There`s just so much to learn in this vastness of the online world. Something that I try to do is whenever I read a new article, learn something from a new lesson or even learned the solution to one of my problems. I will go to Google and slap that term in the good ol` search engine as this way I will always get the #1 authority on the subject so that I fully understand the question at hand. I will also scroll down to where they have those 3-4 questions that pop up and I will read a few of those. I then keep a Google sheet where I put a term in, the definition, a method or action on how to use or correct the term and then also add an authority on the said topic. Finally, I have 2 paper notebooks. One is a journal and the other is my action plans for projects. I will add an entry on learning the new term or topic and if I can apply it to my current projects I will add into the correct category as each plan is broken into categories.

I was born (obviously) with a learning disability that gives me amazing memory but extremely weak recall. SO I do all this for everything I learn so that I create as many triggers as possible to help me recall the stored information as soon as I trigger that recall, I will be able to even remember when what time, what sources, what I was drinking, the weather everything about that very moment but I have to trigger the memory to get the needed information.

So we all have our strong and weak points and we all have to devise a plan to make it all work for ourselves. Just because we may learn at a slower rate or simply overlooked a certain fact or plain have a hard time with a certain subject, this does not make us dumb because where other lack we excel. I would simply chalk this one up to an overlooked fact that is now be learned licky split.

We seem like a very smart and on bthe ball person from what I have read and I think stupid is nothing more than those days your looking for your keys and their in your hand or your glasses when their on top of your head.

Jair, I highly appreciate your comment. You have taken so much of your time, reassuring and encouraging me. THANK YOU!

You've got many great tips. Want to follow your example. It takes some time to learn how to think and how to find information within the huge webspace! Many things, which are obvious for some people are just like blind spots for me. My brain has to develop new synapses for this new way of learning.

So let's have fun learning and putting it into practise!
:-)

Oh, I feel you, I am currently trying to learn how to implement a child theme but am having such a hard time with it. There are so many ways to do this but I have found that no one has expanded or gone beyond what they have posted already so it leaves me like halfway in between and no one seems to reply to my questions. Plus the fact that I am already terrified of computers and completely useless when it comes to any sort of coding or even simple HTML input, does not help the situation any. Sooner or later I will figure it out, I just prefer now as opposed to later.

Perhaps this training by Nathaniell can help you: Perhaps this YouTube video will help you too. Just write the title in the Youtube bar and it will show up.

"How To Create Child Themes In WordPress For Beginners"

There are tons of more videos, if this isn't the right one for you.

You'll manage it, I'm sure!
Just keep on asking questions, the answers will show up!
:-)

Thank you for that. Unfortunately, I have already seen everything the WA video bank and library have to offer. I am on other sites outside WA like Youtube. Problem is that the training never really speaks of child themes and by the time I found out I definitely needed one, my site is so heavily modified that creating the child theme becomes a lot more complex. I have since got it created but am now having a hard time creating the individual templates for the new modified code. All the training here at the WA is based on a totally non-modified theme which is a totally different process. But like you mentioned, keep looking and keep asking questions. A saying I live my life by is that a wise man has more questions than answers...I have to be one of the wisest men around!! LOL.

Wow, that is really interesting how you document everything Jair. Good for you! Thanks for sharing.

Yes, keep on searching!
You‘ll find the solution.
:-)

You do what you have too, to stay in the game right, mine just happens to be sugar honey ice tea ton more than anyone else haha! Lucky me!!

Hey Pernilla, thanks for this. I seem to spend half my life these days second guessing myself... whether I missed something in the training or it should have been the obvious thing to do and I didn't! But I'm keeping going, asking, learning, caring and sharing... we will get there. Have a great 2018, with much happiness and success, Sue :)

Sue, how happy I am to get your comment. I'm so glad you are around. Haven't been that active in the community during the autumn months. Since New Year I'm working my way back on track. Have joined GoGetters Training by Bo and that's a tremendous help.

You are doing so good, Sue! Have a magnificent 2018 you too.
Yes, let's keep going - we are unstoppable!
:-)

Great to be back and to connect with WA friends again!

I had to take some time off for family issues. Now trying to get my head back into my websites! Going back over the training and bootcamp, so much great new information there...

I think 2018 is going to be a really productive year. Here's to unstoppable, go us at WA! Sue :)

Yaay, here we come!
:-)

Thanks Pernilla

Wayne

Great to see you! Thanks for stopping by!
:-)

Thanks Pernilla--I did not know this!!

Jeff

How great to hear that my post was useful for you, Jeff!
Mission accomplished!

Keep your eyes open,
knowledge "lurks" everywhere!
;-)

Hello again Jeff!

Rika gave me a great advice:

"There is an auto generate option in WordPress. It will then use the 1st few lines of your post. That is why it is so important to have your keyword/s in the few first words."

Thought it may be of great help for you too.
:-)

Thank you this is something that i need to do.

Hello David!
How glad I am to hear that this was helpful for you!

Wish you great progess and success!
:-)

No i did not know about this. Thanks for telling me. It does explain a lot more about the importance of keywords.

Oh, dear. That must have been a bit upsetting. There is so much to take in...it's basically endless.

How right you are James.
Endless Universe, endless knowledge!
But I'm actually happy about everything I learn.

Better now, than never.
:-)

Too true...it is like an endless universe...at times it seems like a black hole :)

Yes, better now than never :)

The road to success has many discoveries, some small, some huge, but they all must be navigated. I am happy for you in your findings and continual momentum.
Ken

So true Ken! Thanks for your reassurements.
My GPS seems to have a blackout now and then. Lucky I found the coordinates to this issue.

Let's look out for more discoveries,
:-)

Congratulations on discovering something hidden in plain sight Pernilla!

Thanks Mike!
It just materialized right in front of my eyes, by cruizing around in the WA web-space.

Better late, than never!
;-)

I did know this but learnt it after writing many posts. I had to go back and fill them all in. A bit of a job but I never forget to to do it now. There is a learning curve around every corner at WA.
With Grace and Gratitude
Karen

You speak true words, Karen!
Filling them in one after the other now.

First we have to learn, before we can earn!
:-)

Hello again Karen!

Hmm didn't know that but what I did do was copy and paste the first paragraph into the Meta tag. Shame I didn't know that before !!

Isn't it crazy we think we have something down and good to go and then yet another pops up whoooo gotta go go go ha ha

Yes Melissa, it's just crazy!
With the GoGetters Training I realize even more how much I have missed doing and how much I still have to learn.

Keep on learning,
:-)

Yea I have those saved in a folder and I am going to go through them here shortly just needed to get a little bit caught up first.

Hello again Melissa!

It will help and thank you! Do I need to set this up or is it something that is automatic?

Melissa,

You can do this in "General Settings".
Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
You find the "General Settings" under the "All in one SEO".
Sroll down to the end. There you find the box "Key Word Settings".
Click on "Enable". The box opens up. Choose the two last options.
See this link:

If you have any questions just keep asking,
;-)

Thank you so much I will be doing this. Thank you for the information.
