    I am trying to add code–my directions are below. But I can’t find where to fit it in?
    I looked under Editor in the Appearance tab, but can’t find the <head> code. Can someone help me?

    Once you have created your tags using Search Engine Visibility, you need to add the code to your site for search engines to locate. Paste your code between the <head> tags in your website’s code.

    For example:

    <head>
    <title>website title</title>
    <meta name=”description” content=”this is the website description”>
    <meta name=”keywords” content=”these are the website keywords”>
    </head>

    That code needs to be pasted into one of your template files e.g. index.php, single.php etc.

    Appearance/Editor should give you a list of these, or you can upload using FTP

    This is not going to work for your purposes. Because WordPress generates pages and posts dynamically using a database, you cannot hard-code in header.php a single title, meta description, or set of meta keywords, otherwise they’ll be the same on every page. This beats the whole purpose of SEO.

    I suggest you look into installing a WordPress SEO plug-in instead – there are several to choose from.
