## Description

A simple plugin for adding open graph tags to WordPress sites. Focuses more on theme
and plugin developers. No admin interface (yet), everything is configured via code.(
I’ll write a better description when I can think of one…)

## Installation

 1. Upload the `wad_open_graph` directory to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. `add_post_type_support` for `ogtags` to the different post types you want to enable
    open graph tags for
 4. Customize the open graph settings by using the `og_tags` filter

## FAQ

  How do I use this?

After you have installed the plugin, the plugin will automatically add open graph
tags to your site’s front page. `og:site_name` and `og:title` will both be set to
your site’s name, `og:type` will be “website”, `og:url` is the site’s url and `og:
description` is the WP site description.

After you’ve enabled support for each of the post type(s), you begin to see open
graph tags appear in those post type page `<head>` tags.

On post types that support ‘ogtags’, the plugin will add og tags for `og:site_name`(
your blog’s title), `og:title` (the post title), `og:url` (the post permalink), `
og:description` (the post excerpt) and `og:type` is automatically set to “article”.
If your post has a thumbnail image, that will be set as the `og:image`.

  Can I customize the og tags?

You can!

You can customize all of the different posts you’re supporting using the `og_tags`
filter. Also, if you’re supporting multiple post types and only want to customize
a particular post type, you can use the `[POST_TYPE]_og_tags` filter, where you 
can replace `[POST_TYPE]` with `post` or `page` (or whatever the post_type is) to
customize the content of a particular post type.
