<p>This plugin lets the user write a separate description for each post, page, front page or custom post type post which is added as a meta description to the html head.</p>
<p>The individual description for a post or page is typed and edited in a separate text field just below the text field for editing the post text.</p>
<p>You can also add meta description to category, tag and custom taxonomy archive as well as front page.</p>
<p>To add description to a category, go to Dashboard > Posts > Categories. Select a category in the table to the wright or create a new category. Type the description in the text field Description, Weather or not this description will be viewed for visitors on the site is up to each theme.
