    How do I control the content that appears about my blog when a google search is done? When my blog comes up in a google search, the content that appears is from an old post that appear under the main heading/title of my blog. Is there a way to change it so that this content is from my most recent post? Thank you.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    Google (and other search engines) generate that text automatically, so there isn’t a way to directly control it. Here’s what Google has to say about it:

    Google’s generation of page titles and descriptions (or “snippets”) is completely automated and takes into account both the content of a page as well as references to it that appear on the web. The goal of the snippet and title is to best represent and describe each result and explain how it relates to the user’s query.

    You can read more about that here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35624?hl=en

    We notify Google whenever you publish a new post or update your blog’s content, so over time Google should update its description of your blog. You can read more about how WordPress.com works with search engines here: Search Engines

    Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
