<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<meta content='YOUR META DESCRIPTION HERE' name='description'/>
<meta content='YOUR META KEYWORDS HERE' name='keywords' />
</b:if>

Step 3: After you put this code into your template save the settings and check out your blog for the changes by checking the source code of your blog.
