Missing meta descriptions on indexed pages, portfolio, tags, author and archive pages. I am using SEO all in one, any advice?

[PHDAustralia68]

I am having a few problems that I can't seem to work out.....I am fairly new to this and can't seem to work out the following:

Any help would be greatly appreciated

1. I am missing alot of meta description tags. I have installed "All in One SEO" but there seems to be no options to add meta descriptions in portfolio posts. I have also written meta descriptions for 'tags' and whilst I can see them in WP they don't seem to be activated.

2. The blog has pages indexed by WP- called Part 2 (/page/2), Part 3 (/page/3) etc. How do I solve this issue of meta descriptions and indexed pages?

3. There is also a page for myself, the author, that has multiple indexes for all the blog posts I have written, and I can't edit these archives to add meta descriptions. This also applies to the month archives for the blog.

4. Also, SEOmoz tells me that I have too many links on my blog page (also indexed) and their consequent tags. This also applies to the author pages (myself ). How do I fix this?

Thanks for your help

I'm not sure if I can solve all of your issues, but here's a few thoughts:

For #2 - Google is probably just indexing the second page of the lists of posts on your site. You probably don't want to index these pages (and, thus, the meta description becomes irrelevant)

This might be helpful to eliminate that: http://www.johnfdoherty.com/noindex-organize-categories-tags-in-wordpress/

Same deal with archives pages and tag pages - just don't allow Google to index them.

I'm not sure if All-in-One SEO does this, but I believe there are other WP plugins out there than will, too.
