I had found a thread about manually inserting Meta tags into the header.php, so I did..but before I continue, I'm just trying to make sure it won't have any permanent disasterous effects on my site when I delete the old header file and upload the new one.
So, basically, my question is can I safely delete & then upload the new header without severely breaking things?
Thanks!

If the only thing you did was add a meta tag, and you did it properly, then it should work. You should save a copy of the old one just in case.

Lol @ "If you did it properly", that's a biiiig iffy. Pretty sure I followed the instructions. Even used the ctrl+F to search for "meta" in the header, and anywho. Gonna see what happens.

If you do have any problems, paste the copy of your header.php here so we can take a look at it.

Try:
echo "<meta name="description" content="Supernatural Fan Fiction. Fan Fiction written for/about the popular TV show Supernatural, which airs Thursdays on the CW at 9PM EST. An evergrowing collection of only the best Supernatural Fan Fiction." />
<meta name="keywords" meta content="supernatural, fan fiction, fanfiction, fan fic, sam and dean, sam, dean, sam winchester, dean winchester, fandom, supernatural fanfic, supernatural fan fiction, fanfic, supernatural fan fic, supernatural fanfiction" /><title>$titleinfo</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=""._CHARSET."">";

So, I got that up, and the page still loads, which is a total plus, so a big thanks for that. Time will tell if the search engines decide that I did it right, lol.
But now, on the top of the page/down on the toolbar, it just says the page's URL as opposed to the page title. Did I break something else? Lol.

Sooo, after my brief affair with meta tags, on the top of the page/down on the toolbar, it just says the page's URL as opposed to the page title. Did I break something else?

You did something wrong. You added your code in the wrong place.
Let's just start over. Reupload the original header.php. See this thread for the rest of the instructions. Since you are the second person in a week to try to do this, I've made some instructions. I tested this at my site, so it should work.
BTW, I merged this with your original topic since it's the same problem and had not, in fact, been solved.

Haha, you're amazing. That little mod thread was beyond helpful. Now my site name shows back up and, with any luck, I'll have at least a decent ranking in the search engines. Thanks again!
