I don't know whats up, I enter in meta tags right before the .</title> on the header file. However once I save the file, the blog shows the meta tag with the description/keywords at the top instead of being hidden. How do I fix this?

im confused. you want hidden meta tags??
Meta tags are for SEO, hidden meta tags are useless, especially if you are hiding them from search engine spiders.

Posted 4 years ago #well when I view my blog, the 1st thing, I see at the top is this.
<META name="description" content="Improve your home's value. Articles, videos, and information on how to do repairs,remodeling,maintenance, and more">
<META name="keywords" content="real, estate, home, house, repairs, maintenace, drywall, lawn, selling, sell, videos, articles, help, remodel">Your telling me that it should be showing at the top of every page?

Posted 4 years ago #Yes, that's correct: it should show at the top of the source code of your page. If it's showing on the actual page, then something is wrong and you should put it somewhere between
<head>and</head>.(BTW, every page should have different keywords and a unique description. And keywords are rather useless nowadays in terms of SEO.)

Posted 4 years ago #yes, it was showing on the top of every actual page. I need to add it badly because the site is coming up with no description on the search engines.
I'll play with it some more.

Can you show the problem in context? i.e. the lines either side of the tags you're putting in as well? So we have a better idea of what's around it to break it.
You say you're putting it "just before the </title>" tag..do you mean you're adding it between the <title></title> pair? If so, that's your problem. Put it before <title> or after </title>, but not between the two.
