When using Wordpress, why does it show up so many meta data errors on here and on google webmaster? A list of do's would be good?
-
Using wordpress is a good CMS, yet there sre so many meta data errors occuring, is there a list of what to look out for and good practices when using wordpress?

To answer part 2, if your CSS knowledge is advanced or at least really good, there aren't any design limitations. There are several themes designed for specifically for customization (weaver, blankslate) . Add to that a couple cool plugins (jShortcodes) and you've got total control of the look.

Thanks Dave.
Another question to anyone, does everybody use wordpress as the no.1 CMS, or what alternatives do people consider are just as good for the basis for a veriety of buillding websites like Expression Engine or Modx?
Also, if wordpress is the main CMS used by the majority of web designers, then does that limit the creativity of the web designer by the constraints of the CMS of wordpress?

Gary is there anything you recommend to change in the standard settings that Greg provides, or not to change?
-
Thanks Gary, do you just add the plugin and change a setting or two? Do you have to edit any code in the header editor?

You should have a look for a wordpress plugin that lets you do some basic SEO. Do a search on the plugin search and you will find lots. I personalyl use "Greg's High Performance SEO" which lets me set the meta-description etc. for my blog pages.

This is my newest website with having learnt from previous mistakes, but again this is telling me I've got over 22 tags that are missing some meta description. How do I avoid that? There's a couple of URL's I'll have a look at, but I think sometimes theres not alot you can do. There's something not quite right, any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
....After doing some research on here, would the "rel=canonical" be where I am going wrong? I've added a Canonical plugin to see if that does the trick.

SEOmoz not showing Google rankings accurately in Ranking Reports. How do we fix this?
We have a running campaign for a client who has rankings show for Yahoo and Bing within the SEOmoz Ranking Reports, however, Google shows no data or rankings. When we manually check from different IP's and computers and browsers, we see our client ranking very well in Google and for keywords which we have inside their campaign for SEOmoz. Can anyone provide insight into this? Have you experienced this also? Our reports would look terrible going to the client if sent from SEOmoz directly as Google shows 0 (Not in Top 50) for all keywords, so we have to get rankings from other sources or manually to show our client. Thank you in advance for your help and tips everyone!

Wordpress malware help
Hi guys, I've noticed in my crawl reports that some URL's seem to have inline Javascript in them... The JS doesn't work, but it does cause the link to 404. I'm not sure where the links have come from - it's only affecting really old blog posts made before my time here. I'm contemplating deleting them... Here's an example: | http://www.evoenergy.co.uk/blog/author/aaron/page/76/ window.open('http%3A/www.lime.com/redirect/pubs.acs.org/'); void(0) | Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

GWT data v SEO Moz data
I'm sure there's a simple explanation but I can't find it - Looking through the GWT avg position data v SEOMoz ranking data and Market Samurai data there is a large discrepancy. For one term that we hold #1, and have held for a month or two GWTis showing that the avg position is 180 (and down 30). Any reason you know of why the GWT avg position data would be so out of whack with our SERP's and other data? Thanks.
