Make sure in which blog post you want to add meta title tag then open in browser. And don’t forget to keep it open.
- Go to Blogger Dashboard > Design > Edit Html
- Find the “<head>” tag in your blog template.
- Past the following codes right after the <head> tag.
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "https://yourblog.blogspot.com/post"'>
<meta content='TITLE' name='title'/>
</b:if>
- Replace the “https://yourblog.blogspot.com/post” with your own blog post URL and Also replace the capitalized word “TITLE” with desire custom title.

Note: You can add more custom titles for blog posts by repeating those codes but one thing you should know that “</b:if>” will be appear once after all custom title.
See the example to add more than one custom title:

So if we add title/description in HTML AREA – should we NOT include it in the blogger layout area under the settings tab??
@brian, you can just add this in HTML area. Don’t need to change any other settings.
