Blogspot SEO questions

I've been a wordpress snob for some time. I only recently put up some blogger blogs and I'm really impressed at how they are doing for me.

However, for adding stuff that I find easy in wordpress I am at a bit of a loss on blogger. So if anyone here can help me do the following, I will buy them a Ferrari as soon as my blogger blogs reach $10 000 000.00 per year

1. Where and how to add a meta description?
2. Where and how to add meta keywords?
3. How do I move a blogspot to a self hosted domain without losing my link juice and PR, e.t.c...?

    Well, I only know the answers to no.1 & 2 :

    Go to "Layout"------"Template"------"Edit HTML".

    Then find these lines :

    <meta name="keywords" content=...............>

    <meta name="description" content=...............>

    Fill in the dots with the description & keywords you desired.

    As for no.3, I only know how to move the blog to your own hosting/domain, but don't have any idea if it will affect your PR.

      Awesome. Thanks heaps. I know for question 3 there is always the 301 redirect but I have been reading lately that applying 301 to a blogspot blog it will decrease the authority that I may accumulate using the blogspot hosting. I've just acquired a blogspot blog that has decent PR and backlinks and would hate to have that diminished or canceled out by moving it to my own hosting. Anyone know if this is true or not?

    Notice that your meta description will be used by all your pages. You won't be able to create a meta description for each page, which would be the ideal usage of the tag.

      One of the downfalls of blogger. I'm noticing there are many.
