Making your page Meta Tag the post title in WordPress

The META tag can be used to provide additional information to search engines. Google doesn’t use meta tags directly to increase page rank but a helpful description can be useful in deciding what gets used as a page summary on another site, making something thats more appealing to the user than whatever bit of the page is displayed along with a link.

You can include this in WordPress using the following in the header.php file in your template.

<meta name="description" content="<?php the_title() ; ?> " />
