Thanks!. I used wordpress-seo but there were incompatibilities with my theme
(socialite).

I am in an "initial developer" stage. I like to come into the PHP code
rather than relying on plugins directly. It is really bothering but a good
way to learn..

Sorry I couldn't attend 19' meeting. I am in Spain for several weeks.

cheers

Thanks Mike,

I use that one but just couldn't remember the name of it.

It is definitely better than All in one SEO pack.  Particularly with the
lights it displays to indicate the quality of your SEO.

Kind Regards,

Phil

Hi Angel, yes it's important. 69 characters is the optimum.

Why bother using PHP to amend the titles?

There are plenty of useful meta tag plugins that can help you achieve the
optimum search engine placement.

A handy one that springs to mind is the All in one SEO pack.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/

I would recommend Joost de Walk's WordPress SEO plugin
(http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/) over All in One SEO.
All in One SEO tends to automate too many things to the detriment of your
SEO! It seems to still work on the principal that it is sites that rank in
SERPs when it is pages that do so.

WordPress SEO gives you many tuning parameters with immediate feedback,
along with some sensible defaults and a host of other related features like
XML sitemaps and proper canonical links.
