Tag Description Plugin For WordPress
This has been added in 2.8! Don’t install this if you have 2.8! Read this instead.
This little plug-in adds a fancy little description field to the “Edit Tag” pane in WordPress. It also adds a function called single_tag_description(); that does just that but only on the tag page. Not really sure why the tag description isn’t available by default, seems like it would be pretty useful. Basically, you can describe your tags and echo that description on each tag page with the above function; pretty simple!
Please enjoy and note that some of the code came from a thread I read on WordPress.org, but some of it came from extracting similar core code, I just made it into a WordPress plugin. Download it now.

Brian. Thank YOU!
I am using your tag description plugin, to dynamically generate the meta descriptions for my tag pages (see source here: http://www.holymac.com.au/news/wolfmother). I’m not sure if there’s any other way to do that (???) but this method works.
awesome work – thanks for releasing it.
Great plugin Bryan! One question I have is if you have any plans to allow for tags in the description. Could be quite useful for sites that wanted to include an image thumbnail with the tag page.
Woops, that comment of my was supposed to read “allow for image tags” I guess the comment box stripped out the html. Sorry if it was confusing.
Thank you!Tag description helps a lot in SEO.
Definitely mega useful for SEO, I’ve been doing it manually so far. I’m seconding the vote for allowing HTML, I would like to add links.
I think this has been added in WordPress 2.8 … it’s about time.
