Hi Corey
You can edit the Format.PageMetaDescription.Text value from "{0} {1}" to "{1}" in the SharedResources.resx file.
Note: Unfortunately, in the current version, the the Format.PageMetaDescription.Text value is incorrectly read as the Format.PageMetaKeywords.Text value and vice-versa. i.e please edit the Format.PageMetaKeywords.Text value to affect the meta description. We will have this corrected in the next release.
