Blogspot META Description Hack

Written on July 3rd, 2006 in Blogging by halfdeck

Add a variation of the following code underneath <$BlogMetaData$> in your header to enable meta descriptions on your Blogspot blogs.

<MainPage><meta name=”description” content=”<$BlogDescription$>” /></MainPage>
<ArchivePage><meta name=”description” content=”<$BlogPageTitle$> Archive” /></ArchivePage>
<ItemPage><meta name=”description” content=”<Blogger><$BlogItemTitle$></Blogger>” /></ItemPage>

MainPage, ArchivePage, and ItemPage “tags” function as IF statements.

  • MainPage = root url i.e. home page.
  • ArchivePage = Calendar pages, i.e. November 2005.
  • ItemPage = Individual Post pages.

WARNING: Don’t cut and paste, since Wordpress fancifies quotes.
