How to: Meta description for home page

[dealblogger]

My latest crawl diagnostic is telling me that my homepage is missing a meta description. I am using wordpress and thesis. How do I add a meta description to my main page? ex www.mynewsite.com

Mahalo!

Hello there,

If you're using Wordpress I'd recommend using Yoast's SEO plugin for Wordpress. With Yoast's plugin you can set the meta descriptions for your homepage and all of your other pages plus a whole lot more.

The latest version comes with a really informative walkthrough too so you won't feel lost.

Thanks,

K

Is it under Titles & Metas and then Home? Where it says Meta description template?

Hi There

Just checking... are you all set with this? I know that with Thesis it can be tricky, and it might depend on the specific theme you're using within thesis.

Yep, it worked and is showing up on google. I think I need to strengthen it but at least I have something for now, Thanks for checking!
