		<description>Well start by buying your own domain name instead of using blog spots. Just get word press and download a free theme. Then figure out a way to organize that content because it looks extremely messy and confusing.</description>

		<description>Neil,
Your SEO advice is great. Thanks.  I did what you said and replaced the title tag code in my header file with the code you mentioned above, and when I ran my page it just gave me an error for the whole page (luckily I had saved the original code so I could replace it).  I know what text I want to have appear after my blog title as a title tag when it comes up in Google, but I still don&#039;t get how to make it show up. Could you elaborate or point me somewhere that helps with this for us newbies who also don&#039;t know code?

THANKS!</description>

Your SEO advice is great. Thanks.  I did what you said and replaced the title tag code in my header file with the code you mentioned above, and when I ran my page it just gave me an error for the whole page (luckily I had saved the original code so I could replace it).  I know what text I want to have appear after my blog title as a title tag when it comes up in Google, but I still don&#8217;t get how to make it show up. Could you elaborate or point me somewhere that helps with this for us newbies who also don&#8217;t know code?</p>
<p>THANKS!</p>
