Light Weight and Simple

This is my light weight and simple plugin to include Open Graph data for websites. Ever plugin I've ever used make things overly complicated. There's no need to do that. The featured image should be the featured image. The title should be the title. Seems simple enough to me so I wrote this plugin.
