  Hi there,

  Google (and other search engines) generate that description 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. :)
