Meta Tags for Homepage, posts and pages wont display in custom templates if you view the browser source file for your blog. This is because custom templates are coded by third party designers and therefore we would manually need to insert the necessary code to make this feature of latest search preferences work in your customized blogs.

It lets you easily redirect or cloak deleted, missing, non-existing or removed posts in your BlogSpot blogs to an existing location. Normally for pages that are not found, blogger automatically displays the 404 Error page but this can harm your PageRank from internal and external links. Suppose...

With the introduction of latest search preferences by Blogger, BlogSpot blogs are now far more optimized than they used to be before. One of the features was "Errors and redirections" The "404 Error" in simple terms is a page that appears when a broken link is clicked and it tells the visitor that the page he clicked no more exits or is deleted. The error page loads inside your post body surrounded...

I just took a simple HTML div box and inserted inside it Facebook Like and send button along with Twitter follow button to create version 2 of one of our popular sharing widgets i.e. "Do You Like This Story" The first version included social media sharing buttons along with a subscription box and Facebook like button and it was designed to be added just at the bottom of blog posts but this version...
Whether you call it "Read More Link" or "continue Reading Link" or "Jump Break" or Excerpts (teasers), they all refer to the link or button that displays only a small portion of the post on homepage.

You have seen this link in MBT's email feeds...
