One WordPress plugin I have found very helpful in this regard is the <a href="http://wp.uberdose.com/2007/03/24/all-in-one-seo-pack/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">All-In-One SEO Pack</a>. I highly recommend it. Thanks for taking the time to comment! I know you're busy with your new project.

On my other <a href="http://www.sbishere.com/" rel="nofollow">blog</a> when I put my list of All Time Favorites, my traffic jumped and gives me 40-60 new visits per day. Question, I do not use a description meta tag as I have a Wordpress blog I host myself, ever since I switched to Wordpress two years ago my Yahoo! traffic dropped way off.
