Blogger Meta Tag Issue

Blogger Meta Tag Issue

BLOGGER LOGO

A couple of comments came in on my post Important Notice to Blogger Blog Owners that made me realize I hadn't included a full description of what I ended up doing.

As a reminder the problem is that Blogger had inserted:

<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW"$gt

This tells the Google spider not to index this page.

To get rid of it, you can remove:

<$BlogMetaData$>

However, this also removes a few other lines from your file that includes your autodiscovery of RSS feeds. So, what you really want to do is:

• Go to your blog
• View Source - Original
• See if you have the NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW
• If you do, then keep that View Source window open
• Go to Blogger
• Edit your template and remove the BlogMetaData tag
• Preview your Blog
• View Source - with it removed
• Copy all the lines in the Original that it had been inserting except for the ROBOTS
• Paste those into your template manually
• Preview
• Save

Unfortunately, this means that future changes by Blogger to Meta Data you won't get automatically. Of course, getting NOFOLLOW was a great new feature for them to add.

Note: Blogger logo use to identifications, Learning Purpose, Attractive view purpose.. if blogger.com having objection to use it.. blogger.com have a rights to delete logo without any information or warming.
