Meta Tags on Blogger Blogs
I just wanted to share this information with you. I checked my stats for Poetic Shutterbug and found that although I do receive traffic from search engines the majority of my traffic comes from referrals and direct hits. So, I did some research and found that it is important to add meta tags to your blogs. Now I am not a computer whiz so I did some Googling and found that you have to manually add the meta tags to your blog if you use blogger. I had absolutely know idea how to do this and at the same time am deathly afraid of altering any html code if I don't know what I'm doing. I did however find a blog which explains and illustrates exactly how to add the tags to your blog. He even gives you the code to do it. I cautiously followed the instructions and voila! It worked perfectly. Here is the url to that blog so you all can check it out http://www.bloggertricks.com/2007/12/adding-meta-tags-to-bloggerblogspot.html
I have the tags etc... on my blog and did a meta tag analyzer to see if it worked and it all worked out fine. Now, it is too early to see if this will help my search engine stats but I will keep you posted.

Report back on your metatag success!
And as long as you save your Blogger template first, then editing your html code is no problem. If you mess up all you have to do is upload the backup. It's as easy as uploading pictures.

Autumn, thanks for visiting and commenting.
Icy, let me know if you use it and how it turns out. Thanks.
rainfield, I certainly will keep you all posted.
That's good to know Chuck, thanks for sharing.
I'm not a fan of using the meta-description like this. If you search Google for your blog, most of the descriptions are now the same :-(
