Hiya, a few years ago, there was a helpful post on a similar topic with 
some good stuff in it.

However, I want to do something a little different for my customisation, 
and I'm not sure what the right, Hobo-ey, way is.

I want to have the usual document start tags, and the title tag. Then I 
want a section that I don't think is described. I want to have control over 
Google, and Bing. I want a meta description, and a meta robots. Something 
like this:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>a title</title>
<meta name="description" content="blah blah blah" />
<meta name="robots" content="NOINDEX" />



This isn't, strictly, a custom-scripts extension to add into 
app/views/taglibs/rapid/page.dryml  And it isn't a stylesheet. Nor is it a 
title. There's only those three classes of stuff in the head, isn't there?

Should I be defining a new page structure that includes a metadata section 
that I can then override? 

Do I abuse the scripts section to shove in things that aren't scripts? 

And what if I wanted to put in the zillion links that provides iPhone and 
iPad images, etc? There's no head section for images/links.

I have a vague feeling of dread that stuffing these "wrong" resources into 
the wrong section will likely break some other assumption. Such as that 
everything in the scripts section is, in fact, a script, for example.

I will be wanting to change the values in different parts of the app. Some 
pages will allow indexing, others will deny it. 

Even worse... I have, I think, a reason to want to embed canonical link 
references. But there's no section defined for links (favicon, as in the 
original post from 2009), prev/next, canonical, etc. Is the right way to 
handle these, still to abuse the intent behind the existing sections, too?

What's the right way to insert these elements?
