  Hi, when I view my blog in computer/tablet mode, the layout fine. However when I view it in mobile view, it cuts off my tagline underneath my header (the small text underneath the blog title). How do I change this with having to change the entire theme?

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

  Expound is a responsive layout theme.

  The mobile ready theme is a default theme and a completely different theme that you do not need to enable, if your theme is listed as a responsive layout theme here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/responsive-layout/

  The mobile default theme is provided for those who run older themes that aren’t the gold standard which is responsive layout.

  A responsive layout theme adapts to different screen sizes so that your website will work (and be optimized for) iPhones, iPads, Android and other mobile devices. When responsive width themes are viewed on mobiles sidebars appear below the posts in order to provide as much space as possible for reading.

  When we use a responsive theme we disable the mobile theme. Go to > Appearance > Mobile and disable the mobile theme

  P.S. Your tagline is way too long and needs to be reduced and re-worded.

  re: WordPress.COM metadata access
  There is no metadata access for us wordpress.COM bloggers and we cannot insert any code into the <header>. This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We bloggers cannot access metadata on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. Note http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/seo-on-wordpress-com/

  For search engine discoverability and display in the search engine page results what’s important are the keywords in the site title and the tagline:
