Blogger Title Meta Tag And Individual Posts Meta Tag

This applies to Blogger blogs.
A WARNING: BEFORE YOU TINKER WITH THE HTML CODE, CLICK ON "DOWNLOAD FULL TEMPLATE" AND SAVE YOUR CURRENT TEMPLATE SO THAT IN CASE YOU SCREW SOMETHING UP WHILE CHANGING THE HTML CODE YOU CAN REVERT TO YOUR OLD TEMPLATE.
You don't want to learn that the hard way.
So, I've spent these past few days fiddling around with my blogger.
I had to change a lot of html and in the process of doing so, added some meta tags for the sake of Search Engine Optimization.
Log into your Blogger account, go to Dashboard->design->edit HTML and check the EXPAND WIDGET TEMPLATES box.

Look for:

<head>

RIGHT BELOW IT PASTE THIS:

< b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://YOURBLOGURL.com/"'>
< meta content='BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR BLOG' name='description'/>
< meta content='KEYWORDS, RELEVANT, TO, YOUR, BLOG, SEPARATED, BY, COMMAS' name='keywords'/>

Save your template.
If a warning pops up telling you that your template could not be saved don't worry... after all, you did save your old template, didn't you?
If everything goes well you will see a message saying "your changes have been saved. View blog"
After you've done that and whenever you feel compelled to write a worthwhile blog post you can add meta tags to individual blog posts thusly:

Go look for that meta tag you just put into your html:

< b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://YOURBLOGSURL.com/"'>
< meta content='BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR BLOGGITY BLOG BLOG' name='description'/>>
< meta content='KEYWORDS, PERTAINING, TO, YOUR, BLOG, SEPARATED, BY, COMMAS' name='keywords'/>

and IMMEDIATELY ABOVE IT PLACE THIS META TAG FOR INDIVIDUAL BLOG POSTS:

<META CONTENT='YOUR BLOG POSTS TITLE' NAME='Title'/>
<META CONTENT='YOUR NAME' NAME='Author'/>
<META CONTENT='BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR BLOG POST' NAME='Description'/>
<META CONTENT='KEYWORDS, RELEVANT, TO, YOUR, BLOG, POST, SEPARATED, BY, COMMAS' NAME='Keywords'/>
<META CONTENT='All' NAME='Robots'/>

Save your template and that's it.
I post this because I've looked for the individual blog post meta tag everywhere and I've tried many versions of the individual post meta tag but, so far, the meta tag I just shared with you is the only one that doesn't give me an error message when I save the template. But, like everything else in life, it all comes down to trial and error.
Häppy blogging.

This is the sort of shit I dream about on weekends or lazy, lazy workdays.
I googled "Zombie Apocalypse Nightmare" and so far none of the interpretations
for "A Zombie Apocalypse Nightmare" have made any sense.

How to get Windows Movie Maker speed up and slow down filter

I've been looking for this filter just about everywhere and now I jizzed in my pants when I finally found it.
Just go to Blaine's movie maker blog. Blaine's blog must have a shitload of stuff for windows movie maker but this time I'll concentrate on the speed up/slow down filter.
The instructions are pretty much straight forward and to the point. Click on the bunny bunny and the turtle and
the download will begin. You will download a file named CustomSpeedEffects.msi.
In my case it downloaded to my "downloads" file. In your case it may be different.
Just click on CustomSpeedEffects.msi and Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah. The next time you open your windows movie maker you will
end up with a set up that looks like this:
Slow down 25%
Slow down 50%
Slow down half
Slow down, x3
Slow down, x4
Slow down, x6
Slow down, x8
Speed up, 25%
Speed up, 50%
Speed up, double
Speed up, x3
Speed up, x4
Speed up, x6
Speed up, x8
And just to prove that I am not just fucking with you:

Lady Gaga and weird Creature Sketchoholic Contest Alien Suit Entry Fail

That'll teach me to stick to animation and not concentrate so much on artsy-fartsy contests on the interwebs.
I thought I'd get at least one vote... JUST ONE VOTE... but no. 0 votes. Back to the old drawing board as they say.
