Search Description Update to Learn How to Create a Website eBook

I just became aware of a change that Google has made to the New Post and New Page sections of Blogger. In Chapter 9: Sidebar Tips for Posts under the subheading Meta Tag for Post, I mention adding a Search Description. Well, I started a new blog this week and noticed that, for some reason, that section has been removed from Blogger when new blogs are created now. I tried multiple themes, and that section is missing from all the ones I tested.

So, where will the search description come from? It should come from the first few words that you write in your blog. The meta tag, as I mention in my eBook, is simply those first 140 characters that you see beneath a website when you do a web search as I show in the image below. So, although new Blogger blogs won't have the Search Description available, you can still create a tantalizing meta tag by using your keyword(s) in the first 140 characters of each blog post you write.

I don't want to change this information in the eBook in case that option is put back in Blogger at a later date. So, I hope this update helps you.

Love Never Fails

 After Saul (Paul) was converted from Judaism, in which he was a trained priest, to Christianity on the road to Damascus, he spent a few years learning how to be a better person for God's new work in Christ. After God prepared him, Paul started preaching the Good News to people in different cities. One of those cities was Corinth in Greece. When Paul needed to correct - or praise - some teachings of the churches that were established in these cities but couldn't get back to them right away, he would write them letters. One of these letters (often called epistles) is called I Corinthians in the Holy Bible.  The message I want to bring to your attention today is what Paul was telling this church about love. He told them in verse 16:14 to, " Do everything with love. " (NLT) The NKJV read as, " Let all that you do be done with love. " What a difference we could make in the world if we could all follow this beautiful advice.  In the same Book of I Corinthians 13:
