  Hello. I have a blog at WordPress.com- marxmus.wordpress.com. I’m trying to improve appearance of my blog at search engine. But I can’t find edit option ( Appearance) at my Dashboard in order to add description and tags ( meta) to my blog. Can I edit header.php ?
  All the best

  Editing the core template files of a theme is not allowed at WordPress.com for security reasons. That’s only a feature of self-hosted installations of WordPress.org which allow you to customize the entire theme templates.

  Just to clear up any any confusion, WordPress.org and WordPress.com are separate entities.
