Better SEO for the upcoming WordPress 2.8

I’ve been following on the upcoming version 2.8 of WordPress. One of the major focus of this next version of WordPress is the sizeable changes being done to the widgets system. I liked the idea of bringing back the good old days of drag and drop to the widgets which makes it a lot easier to configure widgets for a blog.

Besides the overhaul of the widgets component of WordPress in version 2.8, the other thing I noticed is the welcome addition of descriptions for tags. You might have noticed that prior to version 2.8 only categories have descriptions.

With tags having its own description field, this will make it easier for WordPress plugins like All in One SEO to pick up a description and put it on the description meta field on HTML head sections when displaying a tag archive. With the ability of putting an appropriate description, it will allow for better SEO of tag archive pages.

Thanks guys.
