How to search for pattern in blogger template xml file - quick way!

Ok, you are using blogger. And you love it! It is free, meaning that web hosting is free and domain name is free. It is pretty simple to change template or to add something. But... first time that you have to change something that is not predefined by google blogger team you will have to start using HTML editor that is embedded in blogger. Changes that you need to make are considering template that you use. If you are not HTML expert then you modification of template file goes something like this: 
step 1: find how to change what you need on Internet
step 2: make necessary changes in HTML code

Instruction on Internet goes like this: "Find this pattern and insert this after that pattern or delete that" But finding that pattern can be tricky because I had trouble using search in HTML editor because it did not work for whole xml file but just for part of file that you are can see in editor window. So finding that pattern goes something like this: search pattern, scroll down, search pattern, scroll down, etc. For instance, .xml template file for template that is used on this blog has 2222 lines and in editor window I can see only 23 lines. 
So how to quickly find pattern that you are looking for? I use this method. Backup your template .xml file. This will download xml file from blogger to your computer. Use any text editor to find in what line your pattern is in. I use Cygwin. Here is example. My pattern is <data:post.body/>. I look like this

$ grep -n '<data:post.body' template-3270296475170057061\(1\).xml
1772:            <data:post.body/>
1899:<div expr:id='&quot;summary&quot; + data:post.id'><data:post.body/></div>
1903:<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><data:post.body/></b:if>
1905:<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;static_page&quot;'><data:post.body/></b:if>


So in blogger HTML editor I go to line 1772 and that insert or delete code that I need.

HP Proliant Server power supply mismatch issue

In case that you insert by mistake power supply that is not for your HP Proliant server you will see "Power Supply mismatch" message. In case that you are wondering "how do you mean not for my server? But that power supply can fit inside my server!" Yes, it can fit but output power is not appropriate for you server. From my experience, there is 750W and 1100W power supply. In case that you mixed these two everything will work find until you need to reboot your system! And that during hardware check this error message will appear

 "Power Supply mismatch"

After this server will halt and there is nothing you can do. How to start your server then? Well if you have two power supply( one original from server and another from some other server that is not appropriate for server) take out power supply that is not from your server. After you do this, your server will pass hardware check and your system will boot but your power supply will not be redundant! 
 

How to add meta description to blogger blog

By default, there is no meta description option when you crate your blog in blogger. In fact, there is no option to enter meta description anywhere. What this means? It means that when you search for you blog in search engine, results that you see bellow URL will show blog name, description or last post. For this blog it will look like this. As you can see, there is blog name, part of blog description and small part of last post. Why this is bad? Because meta data is VERY, VERY important for search engines! When search engine start to search for phrase that you typed in, algorithm that is used, first compare url, metadata,etc. So if you do not have meta data on your blog and somebody else has and you have same phrase on both blog/website, his blog/website will showned first. And that is extremely important because lets be realistic - how many times you search for something and go on second or third page of Google search results?

Important thing to know about blogger. Metadata description is not the same as blog description. Blog description field is showned under blog name but considering search engine algorithm that field is not important.
Ok, how to enter metadata description on blogger blog? You have to do it manually by inserting HTML code in your template! How to do this? Go to template/edit template. HTML editor will appear. Find <head> </head> block. Anywhere in this block insert following line

 <meta content='DESCRIPTION' name='description'/>
 
 And that is that. It takes time for this changes to take place. Maine reason for this is update of search engines.
