Blogger tags look a lot like HTML. One difference between them and HTML is that case is important.

<$BlogSiteFeedLink$> – Outputs your site feed’s URL inside a <link> tag:

<$BlogEncoding$> – Inserts the encoding setting from the Settings | Formatting tab into a content-type declaration, like so:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" 
   content="text/html; charset=<$BlogEncoding$>" />

<BlogSiteFeed><$BlogSiteFeedUrl$></BlogSiteFeed> – Displays the blog’s site feed URL, if it has one.
