Typical web search:

Google
GoogleEnables users to search the Web, Usenet, and images. Features include PageRank, caching and translation of results, and an option to find similar pages.
www.google.com/ - 5k

Here is what comes up in the search engine for my blog;

Title of blog
Blog description
Unique blog URL

How can I fix my blog settings (I use blogger) so that it shows the title of the blog post instead of the title of the blog, and the description of the blog post, instead of the blog description.

Any thoughts appreciated. I think this would improve search engine results becasue the keywords would be more on target.

For single post pages, try something along the lines of:

<ItemPage><title><Blogger><$BlogItemTitle$></Blogger></title></ItemPage>

Here is the code. I tried that and it doesnt quite seem to work. Any suggestions?

<Blogger>

<BlogDateHeader>
<h2 class="date-header"><$BlogDateHeaderDate$></h2>
</BlogDateHeader>



<!-- Begin .post -->
<div class="post"><a name="<$BlogItemNumber$>"></a>
<BlogItemTitle>
<h3 class="post-title">
<BlogItemUrl><a href="<$BlogItemUrl$>" title="external link"></BlogItemUrl>
<span class="BlogTitle"><$BlogItemTitle$></span>
<BlogItemUrl></a></BlogItemUrl>
</h3>
</BlogItemTitle>

It's the page title (and the meta description) that you should be editing.

That's in the head section, not the body.
