How to create multiple pages on blogspot



Blogger pages are designed to allow users to publish content on stand-alone pages that are linked to their blog's home page in Google Blogger. Pages are a good way for bloggers to highlight key features of their website without having it added to the timeline of the blog, such as contact information or an "About Me" section. Here are some steps on how to add a page to Blogger.
  1. Log into your Blogger account. Once you are logged in, make sure you are at your Blogger's Dashboard, otherwise click on the "Dashboard" link, which will take you to a list of your blogs.
  2. Add or write a new page. On your Blogger Dashboard, click on the "Posting" tab, then click on "Edit Pages." You will see a list of your current pages if there are any. Click on the blue button that says "New Page."
  3. Publish your page. Write the content on your page just as you would do for a post, and click on Publish Page on the bottom to make it public for readers.
  4. Add the Pages gadget. In order for readers to find and click on your pages, you will need to add their links to your blog, which can be done by adding the Pages gadget. The Pages gadget will allow you to add the page links to the top of your blog or in a sidebar.
    • Go to Blogger and click on the "Design" link from the main Dashboard. From the Page Elements link, click on "Add a Gadget." Scroll down until you locate Pages. Add this gadget to your blog by clicking on the blue icon with a plus symbol inside.
    • Move the Pages gadget within your layout either to the top of your blog or to the sidebar, depending on your preference. Click on the orange "Save" button for Blogger to accept your changes.
    • Modify the Pages gadget. The Pages gadget will allow you to customize the details of how you want your page links to appear. Optional modifications include re-ordering the pages, giving the Pages section a title, and having the option to rename the Home page where all your blog posts appear. You can also choose if you want new pages added to the list of links by default when you create new pages.
  5. Add HTML to create Pages tabs with custom templates. If you are using a custom template and not a Blogger template, Pages may not show up unless you modify the HTML code.
    • Remove the Pages gadget from your Blogger layout if it does not work. Go to Blogger and click on the "Design" link from the main Dashboard. From the Page Elements section, locate the Pages gadget and click on the "Edit" link. Scroll down to the bottom of your Pages gadget and click on "Remove."
    • Edit the HTML. Click on "Edit HTML" next to Page Elements on your Layout screen. Place a check-mark in the box next to Expand Widget Templates.
    • Locate the string of HTML to modify. Visit Google's Blogger Help website to view the current HTML you will need to modify at www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=165955.
    • Preview your blog before saving modifications. Once you have modified the HTML, click on the blue "Preview" button to make sure your Pages tabs are showing. Click on "Save Template."
    • Re-add the Pages gadget to your blog. Now that you have modified the HTML code for your custom template, revisit the Layout screen and add the Pages gadget to your blog.
