Change Title for Blogger Post Pages

Now this is going to be real interesting.The default behavior for the Blogger To display the title of pages is to show the Name of Blog first and then the title of post page with a colon ':' in between. There have been attempts by the blogging and tech community to change this using the Blog2 widget hack but now that hack had been deprecated by the Blogger Team. But now we got a surprise in store.

And the surprise came from none other than the Blogger Team. According to their May 9 Updates :

Layouts now has a blog.pageName datum that gives the name of the current page without the “[Blog Name]: ” prefix that blog.pageTitle adds.

So we have got a whiff of life from them.
So now to the Actual Part. How to Change the Title for Blogger Post Pages.
This is the default behavior of blogger:

So we don't need to have that name of Site in starting on the Post Page title as this also has SEO (Search Engine Optimization) aspects that have to be taken care of too.

• So Goto Blogger Dashboard
• Go to Layout > Edit HTML
• Backup your Existing Template
• Search for the Following code in the HTML part:
  

<title><data:blog.pagetitle/></title>

• Now replace that entire part with this code:

<!-- Start of Changing the Blogger Title Tag -->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
</b:if>
<!-- End of Changing the Blogger Title Tag -->

Save your Template, and you are done.

Some people like to have their blog's name after the PostPage title like this:

<title><data:blog.pagename/></title>

So in this Code you can add the Blog Title or for that case any keyterm

<title><data:blog.pagename/>keyterm</title>

So replace the Keyterm with your custom words and you are done.
Hope you enjoyed this little Blogger tweak.
