 * Hi,
 * When you do a search in Google for specific site and in the search results it
   displays a mini description of each site before you click the link how do you
   actually write a description like that for my wordpress blog so that it will 
   show up when someone searches my blog in google? Is there a specific plugin you
   need or can it be edited in the wordpress admin section?
 * Thanks in advanced!

 * There are plugins for it, but you can simply edit your Header template at Appearance/
   Editor and add the following amidst the other `<meta>` tags:
 * `<meta name="description" content="This is my nifty site description." />`

 * Hi,
 * I have located the meta name but this line is displayed there:
 * <meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(‘version’); ?>” /> <!–
   leave this for stats –>
 * Do i replace this line with the one you gave me or just add it after this line?
 * Thanks in advanced!
