WordPress SEO by Joost

Hello Again,

I’m still working my way through the setup of this plugin with the use of this article:

https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-install-and-setup-wordpress-seo-plugin-by-yoast/

I’m now at step 5: Title Settings. OK, now please don’t laugh. When the article suggests that I use %%sitename%% and %%sitedesc%%, do I actually use those terms (sitename, sitedesc) or do I insert my site’s name – ie: https://www.myyardrocks.com?

And If I do use my site’s name, do I include the https://? How bout the https://www.? The .com?

In regards to the sitedesc, if I don’t use that exact term, would I use what I put in the homepage title template? The meta description template?

Thanks for bearing with me.

Regards,

Diana
