   If you do a google search for "taiwan expatriate" my blog comes up on the first page (it is http://www.expatintaiwan.net).

   http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=taiwan+expatriate&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

   However, there is no Meta Description tag. Why?

   I'm using WordPress 2.8.5, Atahualpa Theme, All-in-One SEO, and have all both the Description on the AIO SEO and Atahualpa theme options set correctly. But it's still not showing up.

   If I look at the source code of my page, I can see the meta description in the AIO SEO section, but it still doesn't show up in Google. Can someone explain to me why and what I need to do to get it to show? Thanks.

   I am having the same issue and found the following:

   If you view the themes > header.php file in dreamweaver, the content you see in dreamweaver does not display everything you can see by 'viewing source' in a web browser.

   1). View source in a web browser shows that a line of code was added disallowing robots from crawling the site:
   <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />

   2). Opening header.php in dreamweaver does not even show this information

   I am currently trying to locate which file on the server contains this line of code in order to remove it. No success as of yet.

   Admin > Settings > Privacy, then change it to "I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Bing, Technorati) and archivers".
