I'm trying to follow the advice in the blogdown book about SEO: https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/useful-resources.html#helping-people-find-your-site, and am having some trouble getting description tags to work with this theme. What's the right way to do it?

It looks like if I implement a manual description on a markdown page, it doesn't get placed properly within the <head> tags.
If I try to add description: to the yaml, it is ignored.

It's not implemented. This is a minimal theme after all. If you want to add the description, you can customize https://github.com/yihui/hugo-xmin/blob/master/layouts/partials/head_custom.html (more info: https://xmin.yihui.org/about/).
