Change Post Titles And Homepage Blogger

How to change the order of the homepage and post titles (Tags) in Blogger. By default when a post on a Blogger blog thats using a normal default template is clicked the order of what shows first in the browser title is the blog url title (Example: I'll help you) and then the post title comes last. A lot of people want to change the order so they are the other way round. It does look better, and also it supposedly helps with SEO. However, in all honesty I don't think its as important for SEO as it was a few years ago. But there's no harm in changing it round, and its easily done anyway.

First go to your blogs "Edit HTML" page and find this line of HTML code: <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>. It will be at the top, right at the start of the coding. See the image below for the correct code and location.

 

Above the red line: Take out that line of code.

 Remove that code and replace it with the code below.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> |
<data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
</b:if>

Press Save Template, and then refresh a post and the order of the title / homepage tags should now be changed the other way round. This should work perfectly fine with any Blogger blog that's using one of the default templates. If you are using a different template make sure to press the Preview Template tab first before clicking save template in order to double check everything is working OK and there aren't any errors. Hope this helped you out.
