Lead-in text for my site on Google
-
Hi,
I’m trying to figure out why I can’t get a lead-in text to appear for my site in google searches? I thought the issue was because I didn’t have a home page, but I just put one up this morning and the only text that appears is my site name, tagline and author name.
I’m not sure whether this is called a “meta-description”?
Can anyone provide me with some much needed guidance? :)

You have posted many threads here but I am not convinced t you comprehend the differences between wordpress.COM hosted blogs and self hosted WordPress.ORG sites.
We do not any have metadata access to WordPress.COM blogs. at access only available on wordpress.ORG installs.
WordPress.COM is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture and we bloggers cannot access metadata. See these for help:

Search engines are focused on keywords in your content. What is important is keywords found in your content. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/03/01/revisiting-keywords-and-tags/
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.

Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.Note also that WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.
If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.
