<!– Google Tag Manager –>

(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({‘gtm.start’:
new Date().getTime(),event:’gtm.js’});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!=’dataLayer’?’&l=’+l:”;j.async=true;j.src=

Solutions
This is a problem with blogger and GTM – blogger parses everything as XML which causes problems with the GTM tag.
Try the following:
In the code of your container tag you should see this line
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!=‘dataLayer’?’&l=’+l:”;j.async=true;j.src=
replace that line with this line – the change is highlighted in bold
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!=‘dataLayer’?’&l=’+l:”;j.async=true;j.src=
Then copy the adjusted code in your blogger template and save the template – it should work now. When you then check the source code of the website you can see that the ‘&’ has been changed back by blogger to the correct ‘&’, so the code that is actually included on the website is exactly the code that GTM requires.
