Google Search Description

  • Hi,

    When you do a search in Google for specific site and in the search results it displays a mini description of each site before you click the link how do you actually write a description like that for my wordpress blog so that it will show up when someone searches my blog in google? Is there a specific plugin you need or can it be edited in the wordpress admin section?

    Thanks in advanced!

    There are plugins for it, but you can simply edit your Header template at Appearance/Editor and add the following amidst the other <meta> tags:

    <meta name="description" content="This is my nifty site description." />

    Hi,

    I have located the meta name but this line is displayed there:

    <meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(‘version’); ?>” /> <!– leave this for stats –>

    Do i replace this line with the one you gave me or just add it after this line?

    Thanks in advanced!

    Add it after
