Is there a difference between <meta description="blahblahblah"> and <meta name="description" content="blahblahblah">?

Are they both valid? Is one obsolete (or deprecated)?

The meta element does not accept the attribute "description". You should always use the name="" & content="" attributes in this case (and many other meta tags) to keep it valid.

The meta description doesn't exist. The whole bunch of meta tags in your document head can be considered for Meta description.
