    Lightbulb Add description meta tags for Google+ sharing of posts

    It would be handy for the first paragraph of your posts to be included as a meta description tag for those of us using something like Google+ or Facebook to share the links.

    Code:
    <meta name="description" content="Following up from How Liberalism May Be Hurting Comic Book Sales, 
    Cameron Hatheway writes for Bleeding Cool If you are an American like me, you’ve been reading fewer and fewer 
    comic books over the last 13 years." />
    Or the newer itemprop in HTML5:

    Code:
    <meta itemprop="description" content="Following up from How Liberalism May Be Hurting Comic Book Sales, 
    Cameron Hatheway writes for Bleeding Cool If you are an American like me, you’ve been reading fewer and fewer 
    comic books over the last 13 years.">

    Oh, yyeah, just noticed that Facebook doesn't like it, currently either

    tried to link the Tarantino article and got
    We knew that Justice Society by James Robinson and Nicola Scott, set in the DC parallel universe Earth Two, was coming. What we didn’t know until today was that it will be accompanied by Worlds Finest, starring Huntress and Power Girl, both from Earth Two, both stranded in our world, following on fr…

    Stop telling me how things should be, I'm just some cunt on the internet.
    Get up, move to a table without the internet, and do something about changing it.
