How to add meta tags to blogger

META TAGS are pieces of information that describe your blog. They play an important role in search engine optimisation (SEO) by helping search engines to index your blog more accurately. Bloggers should include these two main meta tags namely, meta description tag and meta keywords tags, which describe your blog and blog contents respectively.

How to display post title before blog title

BLOGGER posts listed in search engine results page (SERP) by default, display blog title first, followed by post title. This setting is not search engine optimisation (SEO) friendly because, most readers are searching for your blog contents rather than your blog title. Moreover, google only shows a maximum of 70 characters for the titles in SERP, and if you have a long blog title, then some of your post titles may be truncated.
