Can anyone advise me of a good plugin for wordpress so I can set different page descriptions for my wordpress blog, at the moment I have manually edited the code but now all my posts have the same description. Is it possible to have the homepage description different to the post page description.

I think 'all in one seo' plugin can do that, after you installed it, you'll find there is 'all in one' option in the bottom part of post editor page, then you can add Tittle, Description and Tags for your post.

Instead of a plugin, you can also just add this code snippet to your header.php file and fill in the Excerpt box on your post edit screen:

Code:
<meta name="description" content="<?php the_excerpt(); ?>" />

@RonnieTheDodger:
PHP Code:
<meta name="description" content="<?php the_excerpt(); ?>" />
That's a really great tip. I like people who think outside of always using a plugin, however, you'd maybe want to add conditional checks in case it is a search, archive, etc. type of template. I am not certain what WP would default to in those cases for the_excerpt().

Yep, conditional checks would be in order here. I was just throwing that out there as an alternative.

Have you check the wordpress version of your blog? You might have a WP version not compatible with All-In-One SEO Plugin. Check this out this again:
