Pages without Meta Description Widget
=====================================

If you want to optimise your pages for search engines, it is quite important
to write unique and informative meta descriptions. Having no meta description
is most of the times giving you unexpected results in search engines.

This widget will show you the last edited pages without a meta description
specified. You can click on the pencil icon behind every page to directly edit
the page properties of the specific page.
