                     Using Title Tags to Improve SEO:

Until now, the Title Tags generated for each page of your Blogger blog would display the blog title first, then the name of your post. This wasn't so good for SEO (search engine optimization) as this made keywords from your post titles appear after your blog title.

So if you want to improve SEO that is important for your blog, follow step below.

Blogger Tutorials (Part-7)

How to change Font and Colors on your Blogger template:

First, you should try to edit Font and Colors from your dashboard, most of my templates are compatible with new template designer tool, so you just go to: Design > Template Designer > Advanced

If this not work, this means you are using old blogger templates, but this OK, the template works perfectly.

Now let explain how you can edit your color and font direct from template source:
Change Font Color:

1. Design > edit HTML
2. Search [CTRL+F] for: body {
3. After you find it will see usually color:#333333
4. This is color of your text, change it from #333333 to #ff0000 [you will see difference]
5. You can do many search [CTRL+F] for the word color: to change color link etc

Change Font style:

1. Design > edit HTML
2. Search [CTRL+F] for: #outer-wrapper {
3. After you find will see something like: font: 14px Arial; or font-family:Arial;
4. Replace it with your favorite Font [Georgia, Helvetica, Times, etc]

Usually I use diferent font for Header, so to edit and header font search for #header h1 {

Hope I explained as simple was possible, if you have any other question let me know, but remember that latest templates and new ones will have option to change font and color from blogger dashboard [Design > Template Designer > Advanced]
