#4 Hold down the CTRl button and the F key on your computer simultaneously. Make sure that you have placed your cursor in the HTML box first. This brings up a search or find window. Depending upon your Internet browser, it will either be located at the bottom or top of your computer screen.

#5 Copy and paste the following code into the search or find box.The code will be highlighted in the HTML.

#6 Copy and paste the following information directly above the highlighted code.

#7 Fill in your information where it says 'DESCRIPTION HERE', KEYWORDS HERE', and 'AUTHOR NAME HERE'. Write a nice description that describes the purpose of your blog. Type in a list of keywords that describes the content of your blog and separate each term with a comma and then enter your name where it says "Author Name Here."

#8 Click preview and view your blog. As long as everything looks correct and there are no errors, click save.
