Meta descriptions for your web pages can improve the chances of your site being found and clicked on. For those of you who tried adding such descriptions or keywords to your Blogger pages, you might have noticed there's no easy way of doing that.
This article describes the workaround I found for this problem and is a follow-up to the discussions posted here:
About the solutions mentioned in the articles above:
If you add a "constant" meta tag to your Blogger template (as described in the first article), all your pages will have the same description and keywords. This defeats the purpose of this optimization effort and you'll have to go with the solution from the second link. However...

Replace the http://learn-webcreation.blogspot.com/ line with the URL of your homepage.
Replace the word DESCRIPTION with a description for your homepage.

Add this code again immediately after the
Replace the http://learn-webcreation.blogspot.com/ line with http://learn-webcreation.blogspot.com/2008/03/my_pet this_is_an_example.html.
Replace the word DESCRIPTION with a description of my pet.
Replace the word KEYWORDS with pet,dog,dog_name.
After adding code for all of your pages, save the template and check if it's doing what it's supposed to.
