VS Meta Description

it's really foolish to stick a single meta description in the sitewide header template. that's duplicate content so google knows immediately it's poor quality. it will do more harm than good to your rankings.

1 description duplicated sitewide = bad seo

Simple plugin doing exactly what it is supposed to without bloat. 
Maybe a button could be added to the Default Open Graph Image field, to select the image directly from the library instead of pasting its URL.

Works perfectly

The plugin works perfectly, it is extremely small (8kb zipped), which is a big plus, and the developer is super nice, very responsive and simply awesome.

Thanks a million,
Nick.

azurecurve Tag Cloud

I love Software which intelligently uses already available resources - in this case, the WordPress Tag-Cloud function, with all the options provided by the function but not settable in the standard widget. Sure there are other tag cloud plugins out there, but in comparison to this one they are sure going to bloat your frontend code!

A great boon for MultiSite users is that this plugin offers global settings in the network admin area. Then each site can either opt to use those, or set its own. Now that's really sweet!

Finally, the support from Ian, the author, has been superb - fixes done within hours even at the weekend! For my part I pronounce the new version "bug free" and was glad to help polish a great product.

Thanks Ian!
