We do not have access to any metadata on this multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We bloggers cannot access metadata and insert keywords. However, that matters little given that these days search engines are focused on keywords in your content and not in your tags. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/03/01/revisiting-keywords-and-tags/

There is no FTP access to our free hosted WorPress.com blogs and we bloggers can’t install plugins for security reasons. http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/ Also note that there is no upgrade you can purchase that allows FTP access and the ability to install plugins. Only those with WordPress.org installs can use plugins http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

You need to hire a web host and set up your own WordPress.org install to do what you want to do ie. enter a meta description into the header area.

Hi Thistimethisspace,
I run my other websites on bravenet – but I’m not sure what you mean by set up your wordpress.org install, would you please explain a little further.
Thank you,

Sorry – I spoke to soon, read your link and now realise I need .org. I’ll try and work out how to get .org.
Thank you,
Sean
