Just a quick update to say SEOSimple 2.1 has been released, and now has a Joomla 2.5 
version.
I’ve also added an option that allows you to define whether you wish your category description to be used as the category page’s meta description. Optionally, you can use the content of the top-most article in the category listing. If set to “category description”, and no category description is available, it will default to the top-most article’s content (which was what occurred …
In addition to running a Web design and development business, I also run numerous “side project/hobby” sites and blogs that appeal to various interests of mine. Without exception they all suffer from copious amounts of spam — and some of it might be coming from you without your knowledge.
This spam is virtually all “link building” spam. This means that — unlike e-mail spam — the intention of the spammer is not to get you to visit the site or …
After almost exactly two years of no updates, I’m quite happy to announce the release of SEOSimple 2.0 — now compatible with Joomla 1.6 
and Joomla 1.7

You can now totally and independently control your Joomla 1.5 front page title tag using the following options:
* the [optional fp title] is whatever was imputed for the “Optional Front Page …
I’ve released a new version of autoMetaDescSEO, fixing many of the problems – including the stupid name – of the first release.
I’ve changed the name to SEOSimple to better reflect the fact that the Joomla 1.5 plugin project has expanded to include a few more useful SEO features.
Briefly, features of SEOSimple include:
- Auto generation of meta description tags for all pages/articles that don’t have a description tag set in the backend’s Article Manager. If if you wish …
Well, I’ve officially smashed together my first Joomla 1.5 plugin – autoMetaDescSEO – crappy name, I know.
You can get all the details about the plugin at its “official” homepage, but briefly, the plugin simply takes a set chunk of text from the page’s content and slips it into the page’s meta description tag.
