Hello everyone,
Please add meta tags to your generators! This makes it easier for people to know what it is at a glace, and makes people more likely to visit your generator.
To add meta tags, add list this anywhere in your generator except in another list
$meta title = Put your generator title here description = put a desciption of your generator here.
I will be putting these tags on all my generators soon.
@perchance@lemmy.world Please add this to all the admin pages including the admin plugins and the minimal template.
@VioneT@lemmy.world @BluePower@mastodon.social Can you add these to your plugins?
Also see this page for how to add them: Metadata Example - this is found on the Perchance Examples Page under More Examples section with the title:
Add a title, description and image to your generator so that when you share it as a link on social media, it has a nice link preview
To check you’ve done it correctly, use https://perchance.org/generator-details-checker by @VioneT@lemmy.world
@eatham Also, you might notice that in the recent updated generators page, there’s a 🖼️ button just after the description that reveals the meta image once you hover over it.
@Alllo@lemmy.world Can you add meta tags to your plugins?
thank you. doing so
thanks
@eatham My Power Flag Generator (a random flag generator page) is getting pretty consistent views over the past months even when I don’t update it much often; is this the effect of adding the meta tags as well?
Could be. Meta tags add a description which might help. Could also be unrelated.
Yup, it might show up in a search in google due to the meta tags.
@eatham Okay, I noticed it. Will definitely do that on some of my generators as well. 😊
Ok thanks. I’m making a list of all the plugins and this will make it alot more useful.
