Google's Blogger has added several new "search preferences" settings to the Blogger administration controls.
You can now configure your robots.txt file, meta descriptions, meta tags, set up redirects, customize your error pages, add alt and title attributes to links and even add the nofollow attribute to the links.
The Google Operating System blog uses blogger and they posted a screen shot of one of the search settings page:
Here are help documents on how to use each of these new features:
- Search Description
- Custom robots header tags
- Custom Page Not Found
- Custom Redirects
- Image properties
- rel='nofollow'
For the general blogger and SEO document see this page.

Now Blogger can compete WordPress and other CMSes with this update. Grate news for Blogger lovers. More control over what we are sharing. But they didn't update the classic label system.
