Editing Author Pages
-
Hi,
Quick question regarding author pages.
I have the blog set as me for my author page. so the url is:
Now, seomoz has picked up that my author page is missing meta description.
But, this cannot be editied through wordpress as there is no edit option available.
I may really be missing something, but where can I alter the author page, I have a feeling it might be fed from G+ but no really sure what part of G+ is used as the description.
Thanks
Miles

If you're comfortable editing templates, you can use some variation of the following call in your template file to display the author bio:
If you're not, you can use this plugin and activate the feature for the archive pages using the settings panel:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-biographia/
Google should then automatically display the author bio as the meta description, even if the tag isn't explicitly defined.

I have yoast, it does not allow the author page to be edited.

Get a plug in that will allow you to add meta info

Home Page
We are re-design our home page, one are of the current home page has a drop down window called "popular products" . We wrote short articles for our keywords and have them linked to product page. In the past, it has helped us rank. However, with new Google rules, our feeling is that such practice is no good. So, we lean towards to remove it. Still, we'd like to hear some opinions and ask some questions too: www.butterflycraze.com is it clear to you that this is not good in Google's eyes? how do I determine if these links serving any SEO purpose now after Panda? depend on the answer to 2), what should we do about these pages? shall be re-direct or shall we remove them from Google index?
