Adding meta tag into site/blog
Today I learned to create and add meta tag into my blogs…
I got a meta tag creator site through one forum, which provide service of making meta tag for my own site…
http://www.iwebtool.com/metatags_generator
| Website Title: | |
| eg. iWEBTOOL – Please note, longer titles are usually better. | |
| Website Description: | |
| eg. Top frequently used webtools at your fingertips. | |
| Website Keywords: | |
| eg. webtools,genreate – Please separate each keyword with a comma. | |
| Website Author: | |
1. I filled all blankets, then clicked “Go!” button…
2. On the next page, I got the meta tag code,
Please copy and paste the below to your website
I opened my blog at blogger.com,chose the blog that I wanted to add meta tag, clicked “layout” button, then chose the “Edit HTML” tab, pushed “Ctrl” and “F” key of the keyboard, then a search tab came through, I typed “<head>” in the search area, then found it in the code… Since I already had “<head>” tag, so I just copied
<title>Asian Movie and TV Stories</title>
<meta name=”description” content=”Stories of Asian movie and TV show, especially Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Indian”>
<meta name=”keywords” content=”Asian, movie, TV, stories, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indian”>
<meta name=”author” content=”Asian Movie and TV Stories”>
And in the default HTML code in my template, there’s already “<title>” tag, I removed the code from <title> to </title>, pasted the meta tag code instead, then clicked “save template”, after guess what? Blogger didn’t save my HTML but gave me some words instead:
We were unable to save your template
Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.
XML error message: The element type “meta” must be terminated by the matching end-tag “”.
<meta name=”description” content=”Stories of Asian movie and TV show, especially Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Indian”/>
<meta name=”keywords” content=”Asian, movie, TV, stories, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indian”/>
<meta name=”author” content=”Asian Movie and TV Stories”/>
Then clicked “save template” once again, this time it worked:
| Your changes have been saved. View Blog |
So it’s all done! You can also your own meta tag in same way… Good luck!
Note: for blogger user, there’s already a dynamic title tag present in the template code, better not to replace it…

In Blogger you don’t need to add a TITLE tag there’s already one & it’s dynamic, which means it changes depending on the page displayed.
It’s better for SEO to have a unique title for every page
Even Google will warn you in “Webmaster Tools” if you have the same TITLE on several pages.

Ah, thank you so much for this! I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out why blogger wouldn’t allow me to save my template! Isn’t it funny how something as simple as a slash “/” makes such a tremendous difference in the coding? I can finall verify my site! Thanks!

Ah, you are a lifesaver. Thanks. I had the same problem of _The element type XYZ must be terminated by the matching end-tag “”._
