Given that we cannot access our metadata on free hosted WordPress.com blogs our Taglines are important when it comes to the snippets that Google and other search engines display in the SERPs. Your title appears in three key spots (browsers, search result pages, external websites) and it is the single most important on-page SEO element (behind overall content). SeoMoz advises the best practice for title length is to use less than 70 characters in your title, as this is the limit Google displays in search results. I have found that if a site title and tagline don't exceed 70 characters (including space) they are displayed by Google.

Don't be so sure! Neo-Sapien doesn't display the blog title, yet it's currently used by more than 101,000 wordpress.com blogs.

There are 200 themes to choose from and I'm imagining that there will be other choices you may be more satisfied with. http://theme.wordpress.com/

I'm pretty sure that people won't accept a theme that discards the blog title for example. So why it's acceptable for other things like tagline ?
I've put a text widget, but even this simple task is a pain for a such simple operation, to get something "not too ugly".

But, anyway, it's a usable workaround even though I consider tagline discarding inexcusable.

You can write a substitute in a Text widget.

If I use Kubrick for example (the previous theme I used to use), I can see it but it seems that the theme has no tagline. And I wonder why !
