Hi, my blog is hosted on JRoller so I'm using Roller 3.1.  For URLs which
point directly to a specific blog entry (such as here:
http://www.jroller.com/gmazza/entry/cxf_and_metro_team_links, instead of a
day, month, or category, etc.), I'd like to alter the<title>  and<meta
name="description"/>  tags in the HTML<head>  part to increase hits while
Googling and also to make the Google title and description more relevant for
the blog posting.  I got the former done fine in the "header" template but
am having problems with the latter:

#if ($model.permalink == false)
<title>#showWebsiteTitle()</title>
<meta name="description" content="#showWebsiteDescription()">
#else
<title>$model.weblogEntry.title | #showWebsiteTitle()</title>
<!--meta name="description" content="$model.weblogEntry.????"-->
#end

<title>  works great now, but description is difficult, I don't know what if
anything I can place in that "????" above.  Within each blog entry, I'd like
to have a field where I can put in the description blurb ("This blog entry
shows you blah blah blah...") that the above template would read in.

Any ideas for Roller 3.1?  If not, has this been solved in Roller 4.0 or
5.0?  I can put in an enhancement request if it's not already available.
Roller now has title, summary and description for each post, but I
believe that summary was added after Roller 3.1.

Hmm, having checked a Roller 5.0 instance, I couldn't see any field on the blog entry form where I could type in the description. Am I looking in the wrong place?
