    How do you lengthen the meta-description tag? Mine is getting truncated at 150 characters. I'm using HeadSpace2.

    Thanks

    I have another blog and never set limits on lengths of the meta-description tag so I don't know why this one is limiting it to 150 characters. This is my seo web development blog and as I enter posts WordPress says the limit is 250 characters, not 150.

    Actually a copy of your header.php file in the WordPress pastebin would be more useful to start with. You may also need to drop in a copy of functions.php depending upon the contents of header.php.

    Thanks for your help...

    header.php:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
    <head>
    <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>
    <?php wp_head(); ?>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.mercuryleads.com/lead-generation-blog/wp-content/themes/mercury/style.css" type="text/css" />
    <meta name="blogcatalog" content="9BC9367332" />

    functions.php:
    <?php

    if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar(array(
    'name'=>'right-sidebar',
    'before_widget' => '<table width="247" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">',
    'after_widget' => '</div></td>
    </tr>
    </table></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td class="darkgraycell"> </td>
    </tr></table>',
    'before_title' => '<tr>
    <td class="yellowcell"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
    <td style="width:24px;"><img class="imagenobottommargin" src="/art/interior-sidebar-tab-left.gif" alt="" width="11" height="23" /></td>
    <td>',
    'after_title' => '    </td>
    </tr>
    </table></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td class="burgundycell"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

    ));

    ?>
