Re: meta tags, description and keyword missing

(switching to user@...)

Hi Gaurav, you need to alter your header template to include the search 
description field ( $entry.searchDescription, as listed in the Roller 
template guide.)  We do not do that by default, partly out of concern 
that someone might put sensitive information in that field and not 
realize that it's appearing in the (invisible from the browser) header 
of every HTML page.  (Perhaps however, we should modify the templates to 
do that anyway, I'm not sure how serious/common a concern that would be.)

Something like this should work for you:  <meta name="Description" 
content="${entry.searchDescription}">
