## FAQ

  What’s this all about?

Meta tags are a pain. And there are a lot of them. So this plugins boils it down
to just the minimum tags required to “work”.

  How do I use this?

See the installation instructions.

  Is this really all of them?

Yes, really.

I would suggest reading [this blog post](http://www.phpied.com/minimum-viable-sharing-meta-tags/)
written by [Stoyan Stefanov](http://www.phpied.com/bio/) if you’re curious.

  Can I customize it?

Yeah. There are filters and whatnot that I’ll eventually get around to documenting.
