I think both of those could be done as plugins. One of the plugin actions is skin tag, and it could place things in the head, too. Then you could have a backoffice tool that captures the the css or keywords and writes them to a MySQL column that you add. Hit up YaBBa and see if he'll share his proto-documentation for plugins and you could get something started.

I don't think these would be very good features to add to the base install, but with plugins you can do any crazy thing you want. :D

I just had an idea, though. What if b2evolution always added the title of any category you're posting to into the keywords meta tag? Would that help? Or what if each category had an extra field for keywords and they all got added to any post for that category. You could do that individual post pages, but also for displaying that category. Even the front page could use something like this. You would always have different keywords, which would be cool.

I don't know much about SEO, but does Google even look at the meta keywords tag?

AFAIK google gives keywords credit if they seem to be related to post content. I could be extremely wrong on that, but who cares since google is nothing more than another company looking to make a buck off the web.

I sorta like this idea. Imagine a field in the back office. Maybe it's for higher level users only? Whatever: it's for post-specific keywords and all you have to do to use it is type in your keywords separated by a comma. In my world it would limit you to 8 words (7 commas), but so what. It's not much different than having the option of altering the date stamp, except for it's totally different.

Yabba-dabba-doodle has a quickie guide for doing the plugin thing? Hmmm... I've been meaning to learn something about plugins so's I could maybe simulate intelligence. Perhaps I should badger him a wee bit eh? Then again, he turned my major hackage (that had me scared I'd never move beyond dawn) into a plugin so maybe I should just say nice things and hope for the best... ;)

Yep ... I sorta figured that Phoenix plug-ins could handle this kinda thing.

I think that (1) is something that should be added to a base install, as this is just "good blogging". (The keywords should be reflective of page content).

(2) is more of a stk-wish thing that most folks could "pass" on, but if it were a plugin ... and someone wanted it ... then they would add it. (Sortof a "bloat yer own" install as much/little as you want kind of option) ;)

I've been following Sir Yabba's dev blog, tho haven't yet read his dealie on plugins *yet*. When the bird rises from the ashes ... I'll be the first one in line.
