         <!-- Index Page or Post Page -->
       </b:if>
    </b:if>

    You can use <b:if> with or without <b:else/> but you can never use <b:else/> without <b:if>.


How to Use conditional tags

To apply a conditional tag to some content, simply put the content inside the opening <b:if cond='Conditinal Tag'> and the closing </b:if> like:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
    # THIS CONTENT WILL BE EXECUTED IF CONDITION IS TRUE
</b:if>
In the example above, the content will only appear on post pages. The content can be a div, a section, a style tag or another conditional tag etc. If you want to specify a alternate content (when the condition is false), you need to insert a <b:else/> tag followed by the content, like this:

<b:if cond='data:view.isPost'>
    # THIS CONTENT WILL BE EXECUTED IF CONDITION IS TRUE
    # i.e. if current page is post (item) page
<b:else/>
    # THIS CONTENT WILL BE EXECUTED IF CONDITION IS FALSE
    # i.e. if not post page
</b:if>
The <b:else/> also works like an OR operator as explained above. Example Applications
  1. Display widgets on specific pages
  2. Applying different styling to static pages
  3. Adding FB meta tags and Twitter Card tags
  4. Load JS on specific pages
  5. Optimize Blog Title for SEO
That's some of the newest Conditional Tags for Blogger. May be useful :)
