  Hi. The document you are referring to is only applicable to self-hosted WordPress.ORG blogs. Here at WordPress.COM we cannot edit meta tags ourselves, except in very few cases (such as Google Webmaster Tools).

  See here for more on the differences between WordPress.COM and .ORG:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  “except in very few cases (such as Google Webmaster Tools).” What do you mean by that?

  I meant Google Webmaster Tools, Yahoo Site Explorer, and Bing Webmaster Center:

  Those are the only three cases where you can edit the meta tag, as far as I know.
