## Installation

 1. Download latest Version of `news-keywords`
 2. Upload `news-keywords` Folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 4. Fill out the Tags in your Post

## FAQ

  Are there any Settings?

There’s no need for settings. Just fill out Tags in your Post and there will be 
the Google-specific metatag “news_keywords” with these Post Tags in wp_head().

  I can’t see a new metatag

Be sure to use wp_head(). If there are no Post Tags, there will be no new metatag.
