md2blog automatically adds the following meta tags: description, keywords.

The "keywords" tag includes both the post's category (derived from the parent directory name), as well as any keywords specified in YAML front matter.

I don't use Twitter/Facebook, so I wasn't aware of Open Graph. That might be worth looking into. I'm familiar with the concept, but didn't realize there was a standard.

Horrible though it is, you need to include all the Opengraph tags for Facebook and Twitter, as a) thats how the preview cards are built when sharing over social media, and b) google uses them as good SEO markers.

Google have also said in the past, they don't use the 'keywords' meta tag for SEO anymore, due the abuse it gets.
