 * 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.
