How To Add Page Elements to Posts Column and Blog Header

How To Add Page Elements to Posts Column and Blog Header

 

For example your Blog Header Page Element widget code looks like this :

<b:widget id='Header1' locked='true' title='MY BLOG (Header)' type='Header'/>

You can see this by login at Blogger.com and click on Layout link on Dashboard. Then click Edit Html subtab of Template tab. Scroll down in Template code box to see above code. This code is wrapped in the Header section code like this :

<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='no'>
<b:widget id='Header1' locked='true' title='MY BLOG (Header)' type='Header'/>
</b:section>

As you can see in the first line the number of maximum widgets in the header section is set to one. This makes it impossible for you to add new widgets in the header. Also Showaddelement is set to No.

To add more page elements in header change this code to :

<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='3' showaddelement='yes'>
<b:widget id='Header1' locked='true' title='MY BLOG (Header)' type='Header'/>
</b:section>

Set the maxwidgets to the number of widgets you want to put in the header section plus one. This makes it easier to rearrange the widget order in the header. Also change showaddelement to Yes. This will add a "Add Page Element' link to the header on the Layouts page.

You can do the same with the Blog Posts section code :

<b:section class='main' id='main' showaddelement='no'>
<b:widget id='Blog1' locked='true' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/>
</b:section>

Add a maxwidgets=x code and change showaddelement to yes. Save Template and click on Page Elements subtab of Template tab. You can now add any page Elements to the header and Blog posts. Do the same for the footer.

How To Add Different Meta Tags to Different Blogger Posts

What's the use of adding different meta descriptions to different Blogger Posts?

It is very good for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) . Actually, why we are adding meta tags is to tell search engines what that page is all about... but, using same meta tags to all of your blog posts lessens the search engine rankings and traffic little bit.
But, if you add different unique meta tags to different Blog posts, it makes the search engines to know more about your individual blog posts and make them crawl and index your pages better and it also improves your Search engine rankings for sure 

So, how to add this?

For this to happen, you have to add some pieces of codes to the template.
First Sign in to Blogger dashboard » Layout » Edit html

and find this line

<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>

and add this code just below that line

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://www.howtoblogacademy.blogspot.com/"'>

<meta content='DESCRIPTION' name='description'/>
<meta content='KEYWORDS' name='keywords'/>

</b:if>

Now we have added meta tags to the homepage.

Next, you want to add meta description for your blogger post, for example let see how to add meta tags to below post :

http://www.howtoblogacademy.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-add-paypal-donate-button-to-your.html

This is the way to add meta tags to above post:

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://www.howtoblogacademy.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-add-paypal-donate-button-to-your.html"'>

<meta content='How to add Paypal Button to your Blogger Blog, Adding Donations to your blog' name='description'/>

<meta content='Adding,Paypal,Donate,Button' name='keywords'/>

</b:if>

Now, what you have to do is pasting the above code below the home page meta tags and changing the link,description and keywords.
So, the final code now looks something like:

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://www.howtoblogacademy.blogspot.com/"'>

<meta content='DESCRIPTION' name='description'/>
<meta content='KEYWORDS' name='keywords'/>

</b:if>

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://www.howtoblogacademy.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-add-paypal-donate-button-to-your.html"'>

<meta content='How to add Paypal Button to your Blogger Blog, Adding Donations to your blog' name='description'/>
