First, a basic understanding of Meta Description.
The Meta description tag is a brief summary of your page's content.
And most of the time it might appear slightly weird because words from your drop down menu might be included. *Example above: FAQ | Contact Us

Important Tips:
- Meta description plays an essential role if you have the intention to rank better in Yahoo, Bing and other search engines.
- Even though meta description does not have that power to greatly affect your SEO. But a Good description could help in attracting viewers and traffic towards your website.

On a blogger platform creating meta description for pages might... just make the codes get slightly overcrowded
You'll need to create a 'condition code' and put the meta description code in between it.
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://blog.awsgseo.com/"'>
<meta content='description here' name='description'/>
</b:if>
Replace http://blog.awsgseo.com/ with the intended page.
Now to create 2 pages with different meta description
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://blog.awsgseo.com/"'>
<meta content='description here' name='description'/>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://blog.awsgseo.com/blogpost2.html"'>
<meta content='description here' name='description'/>
</b:if>This is currently the only method of creating different meta description for different pages on a blogger platform.
