Blogger SEO Title

an update to a post from long ago: there *is* a (relatively) simple way to get the Blogger title to be SEO-friendly (courtesy of makeuseof.com):

** warning: this requires HTML editing - and could break your layout; you have been warned! **

Instructions as of 26th May 2012:

1. go into the Blogger dashboard
2. select the "Template" option
3. press the "Edit HTML" button
4. press the "Proceed" button
5. find the bit (near the top) that reads:
   <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
6. change this to read:
   <b:if cond=`data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;’>
   <title><data:blog.title/></title>
   <b:else/>
   <title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
   </b:if>
7. select the Preview option (avoids saving a broken layout, right?
8. when you're happy, press the "Save template" button
9. done!
