First read Installing a WP Plug-in 1/2

Ok now we are ready to activate the plug-in.  First sign into your WordPress Dashboard.  On the left hand side at the bottom click on Plugins.  Locate the All-in-One Seo Pack and click on “Activate”

More or less all plug-ins are installed in this manner, so for any future plug-ins follow the above steps.  Once a Plugin is installed, they can usually be configured from the Settings Menu.

To configure the All-in-one SEO Pack, click on Settings and then “All-in-1 seo”  There are really only3 things we are concerned with.  First turn the Plug-in on.

Next fill out the Home Description.  This is for Meta-tags that search engines pick up.  Google will usually use the description you put here to explain your webpage in the rankings.

Now fill out the Home Keywords.  Think about what a user would search for to find your blog.  If you have a niche make sure to include that in your keywords.  Don’t go crazy, 5 or 6 keywords seperated by commas will do.

Home Title uses the Title of your blog if you don’t fill anything out.  All of the other settings can be left as is.  If you want to experiment go ahead.

Now that you know how to install a plug-in, the next article will be on how to set-up a clean install of wordpress.  Even if you have had your blog for quite some time, it is a good idea to make some of the changes suggested.
