  Hiya,

  There are blogs that I have seen on other sites that allow you to a desciption of what blog is really all about in a much smaller font. This is part of the blog title box that always remains at the top of the page.
  I cannot work out how to do this with my WordPress blog.

  Example:

  Blog title (large “themed” font): Tim Henman
  Descriptive text (smaller text just below): This blog is about Tim Henman and why he has continued to frustrate his fans at Wimbledon over the years…

  It’s called a tagline. But go to your dashboard, click Options, and then write in this field what you want:

  

  When you save it, it might take a few minutes to show up on the main page. Or go edit a post but don’t edit anything. Just save it. That always works for me because I’m so impatient. lol

  Nosysnoop,

  Thanks for the advice. I already entered some info in the tagline a couple of days ago, but when I go to the main page of my blog, nothing appears…

  Nosysnoop,

  The theme I had chosen did NOT display taglines!!
  I have changed the theme and all is now well.

  Not all of the themes will display the tagline. Most do though.
