<p>I've created a Channel with templates <code>blog/index</code> and <code>blog/_entry</code>. Template <code>blog/index</code> will list the blog articles and <code>blog/_entry</code> will display individual blog articles. I want to have meta title/description and some intro text on the <code>blog/index</code> page that is managed by Craft. How can this be done?</p>

You just want to display each blog entry's title and description on the index page?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-11-08)

I've created a Channel with templates `blog/index` and `blog/_entry`. Template `blog/index` will list the blog articles and `blog/_entry` will display individual blog articles. I want to have meta title/description and some intro text on the `blog/index` page that is managed by Craft. How can this be done?
