Custom Meta Data

You can optionally insert custom meta data information in the <head> section of your blog to help the few remaining search engines that still rely on meta data, add additional javascript, or insert comments. Code is not checked for validity, so please enter only correct meta code data.

  1. Click the drop down menu at the bottom of the Sidebar Contents panel and select "Include Custom <meta> Tags"
  2. Select the new Meta Data section that Blog.Mac added to the Sidebar Contents navigation table
  3. Enter meta data as required
  4. Save your blog document and re-publish; use your browser's "View Source" option to verify your meta data was entered as desired

The following meta text is already automatically added to your blog:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="true" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta name="generator" content="Blog.mac 1.2" />

Examples meta data that you might want to insert:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
<meta name="description" content="Everything you wanted to know about stamps, from prices to history.">
<meta name="keywords" content="stamps, stamp collecting, stamp history, prices, stamps for sale">
