Metadata for your Rails based site

I have recently found a link to Rails plugin that allows to simply add meta tags to your views and layouts.

In my projects however I do not need the kind of flexibility that plugin uses. Rather my needs are quite simple: provide description and keyword meta tags. In most cases generic, but customized for some views.

I have decided to create a plugin that is a complete rewrite of ideas used in my current projects. In addition it's my first attempt to publish the gem through github.

Plugin is called site_meta and allows to easily add description and keyword meta tags to Rails applicaitons. In addition it simplifies title handling - both in head and in body part of the page.

See site_meta github page for installation and usage instructions, and site_meta documentation
