    How do I add Tag Lines to each of my pages on my website?

    The blog I need help with is homesforsalemhk.wordpress.com.

    Some themes like yours provide display of a single tagline that appears below the site title. You cannot have different taglines on each page in the blog.
    https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/hemingway-rewritten/
    http://hemingwayrewrittendemo.wordpress.com/

    A Tagline (not a blog description) is meant to be a very brief branding message. Your expanded blog description is meant to appear on your About page.

    The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General … “save changes”.

    That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same but it’s better for SEO (search engine optimization) if they are the same.

    So is there a theme that will allow me to put a tagline on each individual page? Because I am working to make sure that my SEO is very high on my page.

    No, there isn’t such a theme here.

    The good news is that WordPress.com SEO is very good. If you had two identical sites, one hosted here and one self-hosted using that same plugin, the site hosted here would have better SEO than the self-hosted site. WordPress.com has huge SEO and you get the benefit of that by having your site as a “subdomain” here.`

    Have you ever used the Meta Tag Line Plug ins on the website? I have been trying to dowload those and they are not working at this point in time. Would you happen to recommend one?

    There is no metadata access for bloggers here at all. WordPress.COM is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We WordPress.COM bloggers cannot access metadata and insert anything into the <header> or into the <body>

    You are confusing WordPress.COM blogs with WordPress.ORG software installs. WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    The bottom line is that search spiders can detect keywords in textual content and that’s is what they are focused on. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/03/01/revisiting-keywords-and-tags/ This may help too http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/12/05/keyword-power-in-the-blogging-world/

    Have you ever used the Meta Tag Line Plug ins on the website?

    No and I don’t use them on self hosted WordPress.ORG installs either.
    You cannot install any plugins. There are many built-in plugins in WordPress.COM blogs. In fact the JetPack plugin for WordPress.ORG installs provides what we have built-into our WordPress.COM blogs.

    There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

    So I am just flat out stuck in the fact that I want to add Title Tags on a wordpress website. Is that the case?

    Also, none of my plug ins are actually installing now anyway. Is there something that I can do on that?

    You are confusing WordPress.COM blogs with WordPress.ORG software installs. Hire a web host http://wqordpress.org/hosting and set up your own WordPress.ORG install and you can do that but cannot do that here.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    The WordPress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support and you can register a username account there on the top right hand corner of the page or here https://wordpress.org/support/register.php
