  Sorry this is a multiuser blogging platform so we cannot access the meta data for our blogs, but not to worry because wordpress.com SEO rocks!

  Have you verified your wordpress.com blog with the three big search engines? wordpress.com has made that easy to do and also provides sitemaps. See > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/

  P.S. Matt Cutts of Google has repeatedly confirmed they use it. According to Matt, metadata was too easily manipulated by unethical web masters to be considered to be relevant and meaningful for indexing purposes.

  Matt Cutts of Google has repeatedly confirmed they DON”T use it.

  Makes one wonder as does the recent flurry of staff appearances in the forums.

  That’s the extent of my wondering though.

  @gugugifts you can’t edit the HTML so you can’t add meta tags, but, you may find it useful to verify your blog with various search engines:
