Adding Meta Description To individual Posts
Now it is about to add meta description to the individual posts. Just edit any post and look for the Search Description setting, and there we enter the text and save by clicking the Done button.
That's it. Now wait for few days and then the meta description will be updated on search results.If none of the meta descriptions appear (rarely fails), we can do the process manually, but it requires us to touch a bit of code. In this case, go to
Template >
Edit HTML and insert before
<b:skin><![CDATA[ the following code:
<b:if cond='data:blog.metaDescription != ""'>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.metaDescription' name='description'/>
</b:if>
Of course, we will use again the previously mentioned tool to ensure that the description is placed correctly and if all goes well, our blog would be ready to face a good SEO.
