I have always been a Blogger fan.
Why?
Because it is so easy to use and it's free. If you can rely on Google for your search engine research, you can probably do the same for Blogger since it belongs to Google.
Usually, I would just pick one of those templates provided and start blogging right away. However, I now learn a few tricks to customize the standard template so that it is better optimized for search engines. Hence, hoping to rank higher and get more traffic to my blogs.
If you examine this blog carefully(i.e. view the source), you'll see the difference. I've got the description meta tag in place. And it's the description is unique for every post!
How I do it?
I used blogger command <MainPage>...</MainPage>, <MainorArchivePage>...</MainorArchivePage> and <ItemPage>...</ItemPage> to control what to display on the main page, archive page and individual page.
For more information of tweaking the template, refer to
