Blogger dashboard settings allow users to change the description of the blog twice once under the "Basic" option and next under "Search Preferences > Meta Tags" option. Blogspot users often find it confusing to understand the purpose behind each of these description boxes. We will discuss in detail the basic difference between each of these description boxes.
Purpose of Blog Description Field Under "Basic" Option
You can edit this description of the blog by going to Blogger > Settings > Basic : Basic.
Description under Basic option is your front-end description of the blog that is shown astext under your Blog Title inside the Header section. You can call it as your blog punch line,blog slogan or a brief blog description. It must be short and precise, not longer than 3-4 words which could be your targeted keywords also. .
Note: It is not your meta description that is displayed in search results. It is your front-end textual blog description that is shown to your blog visitors. You can choose to display this description or hide it. It has no SEO value compared to meta description that we will discuss later in this post.
In our case it is "Transforming Bloggers Into Entrepreneurs"
Purpose of Description Field Under "Meta Tags" Option
You can edit this description of the blog by going to Blogger > Search preferences > Meta tags: Description.
This your blog's Meta Description that gives search robots a brief introduction of your blog in no more than 150 characters. This is not shown to your blog visitors but is added inside the template source file. Visit your blog and click "Ctrl + U" to view source. Search for "Description" and you will see the meta description HTML tag as shown below:
