Blogger GuidesBlogger pages and posts: the difference, and how to create pages
Posts are a stream that is sorted by date. Pages are fixed documents. Know which one you need.
The difference
A post belongs to the blog's timeline: it has a date, it appears on the home page and in the archive, it can have labels and comments. A page is for content that does not age: About, Contact, Privacy Policy, Terms. Blogger's help states that you cannot turn a specific post into a page.
Step 1: show your pages
- Open Layout.
- In the area where you want the pages to appear, click Add a Gadget.
- Next to Pages, click Add, choose your settings and click Save.
- Click Save at the bottom right to save the arrangement. Drag the gadget if you want it somewhere else.
Pages can appear as tabs at the top of the blog or as links at the side.
Step 2: create, edit or delete pages
- New page: open Pages, click New Page, enter a title and the content, then Save, Preview page or Publish.
- Edit: open Pages, click the title, change it, then Save, Preview or Publish.
- Delete: open Pages, point to the page, click Delete this page, then confirm.
- A link to another website: in Layout, open the page list gadget at the top, click Edit, then Add a new item, type the name and the address, and Save.
Blogger's help notes that there is no limit to the number of pages in one blog.
Step 3: choose which pages show
In Layout, open the Pages gadget with Edit, tick the pages to show and click Save, then save the layout.
The pages every blog should have
Search engines and advertising programmes look for signs that a site is run by a real person with a purpose. Add these pages:
| Page | What to put on it |
|---|---|
| About | Who writes the blog, what it covers and why. Real names and facts build trust |
| Contact | A way to reach you: an email address or a form |
| Privacy Policy | What data the site collects (including ads and analytics cookies) and what readers can do |
| Disclaimer or Terms | For advice-type blogs: that the content is general information |
Common mistakes
- Writing About and Contact as posts. They then drift down the home page with the date.
- Creating the page but not adding the Pages gadget, so nobody can find it.
- Copying a privacy policy that does not match what the blog really does.
Can pages have comments?
Pages in Blogger normally have no comment form; use a post if you want discussion.
How many pages can I have?
Blogger's help says there is no limit on the number of pages.
