    Sorry for stupid question: If you have a blog on blogger, is it possible to change meta tag?
    From what I've read it is important for search engines.

    Meta tags are NOT important for search engines!

    This is true, but META tags do not help your POSITION in the SERPS. The META description tag will be displayed in Google results, but META tags are not important for rankings as they were in the earlier days of SEO. I'd be more concerned about the TITLE tag and getting good quality inbound links myself.

    Google added no more weight on meta tags now. But search engine like yahoo and msn still ads a little weight on this one. There's nothing wrong on using meta tags since it can't harm your blog and it's still crawlable by bots.

    Yep, you can bring more visitors which is very important.
    I've just looked at blogger settings again and found that I can choose title and title description. Where is meta tag ?

    I think you cannot change the meta tags if you are using blogger but if you have your own domain, you can change it.

    If your using blogger you can edit the html of your template and insert your own meta tags.
