  This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We WordPress.COM bloggers cannot access metadata and insert anything into the <header>. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/seo-on-wordpress-com/
  WordPress.com SEO is very good. If you had two identical sites, one hosted here and one self-hosted using that same plugin, the site hosted here would have better SEO than the self-hosted site. WordPress.com has huge SEO and you get the benefit of that by having your site as a “subdomain” here.

  The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General … “save changes”.

  That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same but it’s better for SEO (search engine optimization) if they are the same.

  Hi, if you are wanting to change the position of the title and description, this would require Custom Design, which is a part of the WordPress.com Premium plan upgrade.
