The meta tags are very versatile code that should be located immediately following the blog title, in the blog header. You'll be using the Template Editor to view, and to modify, this code. As always, if you intend to make changes to the code, backup the template before and after making changes.
In a Classical template, you'll have something like
<head>
<title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>
<meta name="description" content="The Real Blogger Status: What Blogger Won't Tell You"></meta>
<meta name="keywords" content="Blogger, Blogspot, blogger.com, blogspot.com, outage, ..."></meta>
<meta name="verify-v1" content="xxxxxxxx" />
<$BlogMetaData$>
In a Layouts template, you'll have something like
<head>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<meta content='The Real Blogger Status: What Blogger Won"t Tell You' name='description'/>
<meta content='Blogger, Blogspot, blogger.com, blogspot.com, outage, ...' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='xxxxxxx' name='verify-v1'/>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<b:skin><

How does one change the page title on label pages so that they aren't a duplicate of the blog homepage title?
Since they are scripted and automatically generated
Is it possible to customize META tags on a page-by-page basis or simply place additional META tags on certain post pages? Would be nice to place context-specific META tags on some posts to give the search engines more to chew on.
Thanks again Nite, I´ve never thought that having a website was going to be some annoying, I believe it could be more friendly to us the normal pc average users to be able to get a site working fine, but I hope some day, somebody does it easier no as complicated that it is today.
Best regards

Bloody hell, this tutorial is really nice, Thanks Man. U are a life saver.
Thank you for giving the tools to prevent hair loss (from pulling it out in frustration!). I spent over an hour searching for this information in other locations. Will be bookmarking your excellent blog.
You're welcome, Joni, in spite of the hair reference. B-P
Thanks for the very informative and accurate information on adding meta tags to my blog. Its taken me days to find information on how to do it. I didn't relise you could switch between the classic template and the layout template.
Hi Chuck, how can I insert a text string into a dynamic title tag?
b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
TITLE>data:blog.pageTitle/>/TITLE> instruction gives only
blog name + :postname"
What if I want:
blog name + "text string" + :post name

I know this post is old but I have to let you know that I've been searching for this info for hours. On behalf of all those who don't understand html, thank you for writing it all out and explaining what it means!!!

Hello - wanted to say thanks. I'm a complete beginner when it comes to anything computer related - never blogged, never had a web page and certainly never done anything with the code.
Half an afternoon of reading your posts and I have improved the chances of google finding my blog, posted on other blogs without breatking blog etiquette, and started to get links to my blog.
Thank you!
I had been going all over the place creating meta tags and inserting them in blogger, but it didn't work!!
But ur explanation definitely helped!!!
Thanks alot

Hey Anwoju,
In English, I'd bet the term was "not well formed". This is a problem with template code. For best help, you should post in GBH: Something Is Broken, where we can have a dialogue.
ps Please, check your Caps Lock key before posting!
My head is spinning ! But at least I am not spitting out pea soup ( yet! ).
How does one do a blog in HTML?
Yes I clicked on the html tab and then what? Do I just add my coding, as if I were writing it in word and going to use FTP?
Can I control all my tags here? Meta, key etc.
If so - again how?
PS: I know how to write codes, I just don't know how to get them into the "code" section of the blog here.
Thanks, Beth :)
Beth,
The absolutely best way to learn Blogger in HTML Mode is to take any post written in Compose mode, and select "Edit HTML". Observe the code changes. Make HTML changes, and see what it looks like under "Compose" mode.
And do this under Draft Blogger too, because Draft Post Editor is coming, and "Edit HTML" will be severely deprecated.
Thanks for your blog! there is a lot of useful information. I'm still confused about the META tags, I looked in the layout HTML and they are not there. Are we supposed to add the line or am I looking in the wrong place?
Arturo Hey. http://uofoadmissions.blogspot.com/
man you need to start including links for older retards. everytime i come here (you have the best blogger site around i'm sure you know) i get more confused. i finally just gave up my other blog which went from 10k views a month to 80 (no k) eighty people starting around october 8th. i've practically lived on your site, tried to ask the questions at blogger help (you even copied and pasted some pretty great relevant stuff), but i just can't figure out what to do in analytics, etc. so now i'm trying to start the right way with my new blog, but even though i've been doing this for a few years, it's maddening. the information is scattered in fifteen diferent subcompartments of google and blogger and good people like you who really try to provide everything, but that's the problem, between google's meager ridiculous five sentence explanations with no examples of coding to speak of and fifteen different variables, and sites like yours with great organization and connecting links, each one taking you down a slightly different road, it makes it really frustrating for people like me who have to learn as we go and who still find anything to do with templates and xthml html meta tags robots, etc., mind-numbingly difficult.
