 This plugin allows inserting arbitrary metadata into the source of a page.
 Enter the metadata as follows:

+       \[[!meta field="value"]]

   Adds html <link> tags to perform OpenID delegation to an external

+
+  Optionally, a delay (in seconds) can be specified. The default is to

+  Valid values for the attribute are: "index", "noindex", "follow", and
