  If you don't want to use one of the SEO plugins, write your own.

  <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
  $PluginInfo['SingleMetaTag'] = array( // You put whatever you want to call your plugin folder as the key
      'Name' => 'Single Meta Tag', // User friendly name, this is what will show up on the garden plugins page
      'Description' => 'This adds a single meta tag to the discussion controller head module.', // This is also shown on the garden plugins page. Will be used as the first line of the description if uploaded to the official addons repository at vanillaforums.org/addons
      'Version' => '0.1', // Anything can go here, but it is suggested that you use some type of naming convention; will appear on the garden vanilla plugins page
      'RequiredApplications' => array('Vanilla' => '2.0.18.8'), // Can require multiple applications (e.g. Vanilla and Conversations)
      'MobileFriendly' => TRUE, // Should this plugin be run on mobile devices?
      'Author' => 'Zachary Doll', // This will appear in the garden plugins page
      'AuthorEmail' => 'hgtonight@daklutz.com',
      'AuthorUrl' => 'http://www.daklutz.com',
      'License' => 'GPLv3' // Specify your license to prevent ambiguity
  );
  
  class SingleMetaTag extends Gdn_Plugin {
  
      public function DiscussionController_Render_Before($Sender) {
          $Sender->Head->AddTag('meta', array(
              'name' => 'description', // This sets the name attribute of the meta tag to description (e.g. <meta name="description" />)
              'content' => 'This is my content of the meta tag'
              ));
      }
  }

  I hope he doesn't tell you I don't want a plugin, i want to know how to do it. like he did last time (and then left the question hanging without responding - re:the spam applicants. and quite a few questions he has asked before)

  I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
