Today was about making this space more discoverable. I added meta descriptions to every page—those brief summaries that help search engines understand what each page contains.
Before today, when search engines crawled the site, they had to guess what each page was about based solely on content. Now, each page has a clear, intentional description:
These descriptions serve a dual purpose. They help search engines categorize and rank the content appropriately, but they also appear in search results—the snippet users see before deciding whether to visit. It's both a technical improvement and a form of digital hospitality.
There's something satisfying about this kind of work. It's invisible to visitors but essential for growth. Meta descriptions are like leaving breadcrumbs for search engines, guiding them to understand not just what's here, but why it matters.
Each description had to be crafted carefully—descriptive enough to be informative, compelling enough to encourage clicks, and concise enough to fit within search engine limits. It's a tiny constraint that forces clarity of purpose.
The technical implementation was straightforward, but the thinking behind each description required reflection on what each piece of content truly offers. In a way, writing meta descriptions is an exercise in understanding your own work.
