How To Create A Blank Page In Blogger

Share |

Having the option to create a blank page is very useful when you're a blogger. For example, you may see the need to create an 'About me' or 'Contact me' page and do not want to write either of these as a lone blog post. Some blogging directories insist you have a 'subscribe' page, and many 'blog for payment' sites won't accept your blog on their lists unless you have a 'disclosure' which is easily found on your blog. 

No one wants to read a blog post written merely for the aforementioned, this is why the ability to create a page is so welcome. You can create up to ten stand-alone pages for your blog. Here's how you do it.

~Go to your Dashboard

~Click New Post on your chosen blog

~At the top of the page you'll see 4 options: New Post, Edit Posts, Edit Pages and Comment Moderation.

~Choose Edit Pages

~Click on New Page

~Create your page and give it a suitable name

~Publish your page

~Make a note of the url of this new page. You may want it to show up as a link instead as 'Pages'.

~Go into your Layout (now Design) and Add a Gadget

~Add pages and customise it the way you want it to appear.

Drag and drop the gadget into position. You can place it in your header, side bar, or at the bottom of your posts. If you have a link bar the 'Add A Page' feature will allow you to place your new page beside the other links on this bar.

If you prefer for your page(s) to just show up as a link on your side bar, just Add A Gadget, Add a Link List, and put the link on your page where you want it to be.

Finally, if you blog for profit (get paid for blogging), adding pages to your blog is a good way of keeping all your sponsored posts in one area in your side-bar.

Good luck.
