 * Is it possible to create a custom meta-description? Some of the excerpts are 
   clunky… It’d be ideal to use the SEO meta-description that I already write for
   each post. Possible?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fuse-custom-meta-description%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You should be able to use the “Excerpt” metabox. If you can’t see it, click “
   Screen Options” at the top right of the edit area, and check the box next to 
   it.
 * Let me know if this helps or not 🙂
