[_MetaMate_](http://pagesofinterest.net/shop/meta-mate/index.php?utm_source=pagesofinterest&utm_medium=plugins-page-learn-more&utm_content=meta-mate&utm_campaign=internal) was mentioned on the RW podcast #5 (thanks, Ben and Dan); has anyone any experience of it, please? Is it an advance over _RW_’s built in metadata settings? TIA… ---

I use it. It saves a bit of time. ---

I’ve heard of this plugin before but never looked into it. Looking now, it definitely seems like a timesaver. Going to take the plunge! ---

I use MetaMate for my sites. It really helps when you have sites with over 10+ pages. I have one RW project with about 75 pages and without it I would be lost. ---

Thank you, all! So it can do things which _RW_’s own built-in metadata settings cannot? ---

Anyone know if Mike at PagesOfInterest is still around, please: although his time zone is very different, I haven’t had answers to these two questions despite trying quite a few times: 1 - when do I use **%tokens%** and when do I use straight strings; I’ve read and reread the mmanual, but it still isn’t clear to me? 2 - why would a fresh install of _MetaMate_ (Yes, I bought it; hope I shan’t regret it) display the (existing) metatags which I’d already entered into _RW_ 6’s Configure \> Code \> Metatags setting **on some pages but not others**? Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer these questions! ---

I’ve only just started using Joe Workman’s SEO Helper for Foundation. It’s really good for creating Open Graph metadata. ---

Thanks, Peter! I can well believe it 😄 I’m not yet working within Foundation - so really need to understand the ins and outs of _MetaMate_…
