No, they're not. But I think that they could be. Wordpress ahs incorperated a way to associate keywords with each post, and this new plugin makes it easy to use those either for "tags" (which are basically the same thing as keywords, with the potential to suffer the same fate) -- I think that meta keywords can still be used for local searches, even if the major search engines have long ago abandoned them.

I've exchanged emails with Wayne from Acme T.Z. to produce a new version that balances my original design with his suggestions. I've released <a href="http://vapourtrails.ca/2005-03/plugin-updates/" rel="nofollow">1.5beta</a> which you can try out. The category/meta problem doesn't affect Technorati, which only pulls tags from your Atom feed. So your poems <em>won't</em> show up as essays, etc. I noticed that you're not being indexed by Technorati -- you need to make sure your profile link shows up on the main page.
