Website description

Hello,

I know that Backlight doesn't support meta tags, I've read the all posts about it here, but I really need a way to add a meta description in order to control the listing description in Google.  The most important thing for me is to be able add a unique description to my homepage.  I know I could add a description in the custom php file but it would then be the same for every page, which isn't an option for me.  What is the best way to achieve what I'm looking for?

Thanks

Re: Website description

At present, use the ttg_head PHPlugins location to add a meta element to your template.

Re: Website description

Is there a way to isolate it to just the homepage using the PHPlugins?

I know that it's not proper html protocol, but do you see any problem in adding it to my "copy" in the body of the page?

Yes. Create a duplicate page template and assign the phplugins file that inserts the needed meta tag into the head tag to this template.
Use this page template for your home page.
