I wonder if there is a way to automate the tag description using boilerplate text and hooks to the tag name.

i.e. This is a list of all the posts for %tag%. We love %tag%. We dream of %tag%.

not sure if this would count towards duplicate content issues or not – doubt it if the text is short…

remove_filter( 'term_description', 'wp_kses_data' ); is needed to allow full html in tag descriptions in 2.9

Thanks for the post, Justin. I noticed that when entering descriptions in admin, you can’t put in an image (img src…) link. Wordpress appears to strip them immediately, independently of the theme (so the solution you mentioned, involving the themes functions.php file, doesn’t work.)

Any thoughts on allow some limited HTML, such as a, img, blockquote etc.?

Thanks!

Thanks for the meta description explanation! I had no idea how to do that and found you on a Google search. You’re the man!
