Blogger Beta problem

    I'm trying to make the move to the new Blogger beta but have run into a
    problem with META tags. Previously I was using the following code to
    create dynamic meta tags for each of my blog pages. When I try these
    same codes in blogger beta I get some XML valdation errors.

    Does anyone know how I can implement these lines of code? I know I can
    use static META tags but I'd prefer for them to be created dynamically
    for each page like before.


    Thanks


    <title>
    <MainOrArchivePage>NAME_OF_MY_BLOG</MainOrArchivePage>
    <Blogger>
    <ItemPage>
    <BlogItemTitle>APPENDED_KEYWORD:<$BlogItemTitle$></BlogItemTitle>
    </ItemPage>
    </Blogger>
    </title>


    <meta name="keywords" content="<MainOrArchivePage>keyword1, keyword2,
    keyword3, etc,
    <$BlogPageTitle$></MainOrArchivePage><ItemPage><Blogger><$BlogItemTitle$>ke­yword1,
    keyword2, keyword3, etc,</Blogger></ItemPage>"/>


    <meta name="description"
    content="<MainOrArchivePage>BLOG_DESCRIPTION</MainOrArchivePage><ItemPage><­Blogger>APPENDED_KEYWORD
    <$BlogItemTitle$></Blogger></ItemPage>"/>

    You could try using the following:

    <META CONTENT='keyword1,keyword2' NAME='KEYWORDS'/>
    <META CONTENT='your description'/>

    Thanks turfsniffer...but that would be static. I'm looking for dynamic (i.e. something unique for each page)

    Blogger beta uses widgets, and an entirely different templating system, you can read about it in blogger help.

    True I've had some problems with the new template system myself. I had to use static meta. i tried reading the help but it didn't get me anywhere as all it talks about is content.

    Thank you

    You can still use the classic template on the New Blogger (Beta).
