Where do I add a “description” of my overall blog/website?
Before Vantage, I had areas that were HTML in the Appearance> Editor ….
but everything now is php. And I have no idea how to give site engines a description (meta tag) without using html.
Can I still add a meta description? Would it go in the header php?
Will this be lost in Vantage updates?
I am looking into the Yoast SEO, as I have seen this forum speak of, but I am wary to add another plugin at this point.

6Hi oldasdirtuser
If you ever update any WordPress theme, the entire theme folder get’s completely overwritten. So unless you’re working in a child theme it’s important not to edit any files via Appearance > Editor as those changes aren’t upgrade safe.
A plugin is the best solution for adding a meta description. I’ve used Yoast SEO for a long time. It’s a great plugin. There are also alternatives though. Perhaps give Yoast a try:

Here is their help section:

SUPERB.
Sorry for the late reply ….
Headed to check about Yoast now.
Does that include Custom CSS also – as far as being overwritten?
Not changing the CSS style sheet but adding own items in the custom section like
/* Circle Icon Widget Scaling */
.circle-icon {
transform: scale(1);
transition: transform .3s ease-in-out;
}
.circle-icon-box:hover .circle-icon {
transform: scale(1.55);
}

Can those circles spin with css??? Hmmm….
Appearance > Custom CSS is saved along with your theme settings. It’s an upgrade safe area to store your custom CSS snippets.
Appreciate that Andrew!
For sure :)
