   How can I enter a standard description of my site (index) to show up as the result of a google search (under the site's name), rather than having it pull pieces of my recent posts?

   Any help is greatly appreciated!

   You could add a meta description tag into your header template for the index page, if there's not already one of them.

   Somewhere below this line in your header

   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

   Put this -

   <?php
    if(is_home()) { echo '<meta name="description" content="Put your description here." />'; }
   ?>

   Does this method also work for Keywords?

   Also does Google still use keywords?

   How to force a line feed between these two meta tags?
   [code]
   <?php
   if(is_home()) { echo '<meta name="description" content="Information about rare and collectible glass bottles." />';
   echo '<meta name="keywords" content="bottle mold, glass bottle, bottle bases, glass machine, pontil, mold seams, base plate, blown bottle, side mold seams, historic bottles" />';
   }
   ?>
   [/code]
