How to Create Static Pages in Blogger

at April 15, 2012
What are Blogger static pages? 

Blogger Static Pages allows you to create specific pages like About Me, Contact page, Privacy Policy etc. on stand-alone pages that are linked from your blog. The static pages basically are the same as post pages, but there are several things that make them different. One of the differences is that static pages don't appear in the home page, don't have a label, and are not indexed as archive pages.


How to Create Static Pages in Blogger.

Step 1. Log in to your Blogger Dashboard

Step 2. Click on Pages
static pages blogger, blogger tutorials, widgets


Step 3. Click on New Page - Blank Page

Step 4. Type the title and write the page's content.


Step 5. Before publishing it, click on Preview to see how it will appear on your blog.

Step 6. When you have finished the editing, click on Publish button.

Step 7. Now you have 3 options:
  1. Keep it as nav menu below header - Top tabs
  2. Display the page in your blog's sidebar - Side Links
  3. Add the page's link manually to your template - Don't Show

Step 8. After you have chosen where the page will appear, click on the Save arrangement button



And now you're done!
Now you have owned the static page. If you want another static page, just repeat the steps above.

Note: if you have opted for Don't show option: go to Pages again and right click on the page's title and select Copy link location (in firefox). You can add the link manually to your sidebar via Link widget or add the link in your template, via Edit HTML.

UPDATE: Blogger made an update recently to the way that pages are added to blogs. Here is an updated tutorial that will walk you through the new process, step by step: How to Add Static Pages to a Blogger Blog

    How recent is this post because my blog is from 2012 and I just can't follow your instructions because my blogger isn't laid out like this.

  2. says:

    Could you post a newer version with pics using the new blogger layout. I'll give you an example. The only thing that I can see that I can do as far as "editing pages" is change the name of the page. I don't have the options you have above. Thank you so much.

  3. says:

    hi , thanks for that , i wanna know how to publish a post in a specific page that ya created cuz we know that all what we publish go directly to home page but i wanna know how to publish in specific page like about me or news or whatever?? and thanks again

    Hi Lola - go into blogger settings and change back to old blogger format.

  5. says:

    Hi Lola,

    Sorry for the late reply. I've updated my post for the new interface. Thanks for visiting!

    Hi Yassine,

    Here are some tricks you can apply:
    1) give an unique label to each of your related posts, then put the URL of the label in the tabs of your blog so that each time your readers will click on the "pages" of your blog, they will be transfered to the list of posts for the page which they have chosen.
    2) set up the pages shown on homepage to 0 (from Blogger's Dashboard click on Settings -> Formating -> Show at most - 0 posts)
    3) set up a 'landing' page - add a text or an HTML/JavaScript gadget enter the text you want to appear on your homepage, then drag it just above the Blog Posts area.

    Hope this will help you!

  7. says:

    To hide the widget from post pages, follow the instructions here:
    Hide/Show Widgets/Gadgets in Home/post/static/archive pages in Blogger

  8. says:

    If you already have existing tabs created by a designer, how do you link the page to that tab to make a "Static" or stationary page when someone clicks on that tab?

  9. says:

    Can I create my static pages and save them until I have all of them lined up how I like, or do I have to publish each one as I do them?

  10. says:

    I want to make my page static, which I have already set up as a forum. I want it to be the first and only thing that people see when they come to my site. I don't want them to have to click a button to get to it. Is there a way to make my page truly static without requiring any sort of click-through? This is September 2012 btw.

  11. says:

    Yes, if you want to show them on your tabs or whatever, go at the Pages widget and deselect the pages you want to be hidden or the "Automatically add new pages when they are published" option. You can also drag them to change their position. You can check them back anytime to show on your blog.

  12. says:

    From your Blogger Dashboard, go to Settings > Search Preferences and look for Custom Redirects option, then in the From: box enter a forward slash - "/" and in the To: box enter the page name which is after the blogspot.com - for example yours would looks something like "/p/Forum.html" (you should add the slash before of it here too). Now thick the "Permanent" checkbox and click on the 'Save' link, then press the 'Save changes' button. Hope it works!

    my web site gating a problem..... when i create new page it is not show..... always don't show......

  14. says:

    how to show relevant posts in relevant pages with help of labels

  15. says:

    Is there any way to create static pages that do not show up as tabs? I am trying to set up an arrangement of tabbed pages with the option of manually linking to "hidden" static pages that I don't want listed amongst my visible pages. I can't see anything in the Blogger Pages editor that allows me to have a mixture of visible and invisible pages.

  16. says:

    OK I'm finally getting to adding my static pages but in looking at my blog, I can't imagine how top tabs would be added or where they will go. I want tabs at the top but is there a way ato view them before actually posting them?

    Also, I wasn't sure I understood your comment above. I want to create static pages but work on them, edit them and when completely satisfied with all the pages then post them. Am I able to do that? Or must they be posted as I create them?

    Thank you.

  17. says:

    Hi...I've been trying to work something out on my own but no luck and I'm not too good at explaining myself but here goes....
    I have 5 topics across the top of my blog that my posts are relevant to ( one topic each post) I'm happy to have them come up on the home page but how do I also get them to open when someone clicks on one of the topics? So for my homemade section, I want to put all my creative and cooking posts in there also. It must be possible becuase I have seen it on others but I just can't work it out.....thanks so much :)

  18. says:

    i have created pages but when i want to make a new post that post always posted on home page not to any other page how can i post on other pages?

  19. says:

    Thank you! This worked like a charm.

  20. says:

    Hi there. I am wondering, if you create a page and you want to have labels under the page instead of gadget like for example on this webpage http://crossfitmobile.blogspot.com/p/fitness-is.html. Under fitness page there are number of others pages. Just wondering how one would go about doing this in blogger. Spent loads of time trying to figure it out but with no luck.
    Cheers!

  21. says:

    i want to create pages which come after clicking on home page items.plz reply..i`m waiting

  40. says:

    Hello! I'll look through your blog to see if I can find what I'm looking for, but I came across this post when searching, "how to have 2 post sections on blogger". I've tried the google forum but no one seemed to know what I meant. I can only seem to post "entries" on the main post section, but cannot add a second section of the same format (like how you can add multiple "pages" but they are all static).

    Google forum said to create a "page" and choose "redirect to web address" and link it to a group of entries under the same label. My problem with that is that anything labelled will ALSO show up on the original "post" section, and I want it separate.

  56. says:

    I am also facing the same problem. Please admin do answer this question... Thanks

  57. says:

    You can't publish a post in a static page but you can add a unique label to the similar posts and copy the label URL (to find it, right click on your label and select "Copy link location") and add the label's link to your top tabs: from your blog dashboard, click on Pages > New Page and choose "Web address" option, where you add the tab's title and paste the label's link.

  58. says:

    It is a template created by me.

    You're welcome... and thank you for joining :)

  60. says:

    My pleasure. Thanks for stopping by.

  61. says:

    It is possible only if you know the widgets code which you can paste in the HTML section of your page when creating it. Or you can drag your widgets below the Blog Posts area and add conditional tags to them to show only in a specific page. Here is a tutorial about how you can do it: hide/show widgets on specific pages.

    My static pages are not getting edited, wat shud I do?Please help!

  93. says:

    Good Morning,
    Thank you very much for your post. I'm wondering, is there a way to make a single static page? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something. On my old blog, I had the option to move my page to a "hidden" section in "pages". Now that I have created a new blog, I see that the option is no longer there. When I followed your directions, it hid all of my pages, instead of just one. Is there a way to hide just one page in "pages" as opposed to all of them? I still want my other pages to show up below my header, I would prefer to link my about me in my side bar. I can't seem to find help for this :(
    Thank you for your time.

  94. says:

    Nice blog and information also very useful.Good work keep it up,Please also post some posts related to custom landing pages.I need some advises.

    I am having a problem that was also posed by Barbara in January but I don't see that anyone addressed it then. I have had several static pages on my blog for a long time that have worked as they should, but just today I published one more page, but it isn't working right. The page shows up as a link in the list of Pages on This Blog, but the link takes you right back to the home page when you click on it - it doesn't go to the new static page. Why is this happening?

  106. says:

    How can I remove static page and have the blogger as usual showing the last post?

    Hi, I'm having the same problem and I don't know how to solve it... So, for now, I chose the option 'Don't Show' and added manualy to my Menu.

    Can you help me? Thanks!

    Great tutorial, but I'm having some problems with my labels properly redirecting to the correct static pages. For instance, I want all of my posts to appear in the "Home," tab, which they currently do. However, all those posts are also appearing under my "Fashion" tab, which is odd since I never tagged some of those posts with that label. Any suggestions on how to go about fixing this? Thanks!

    Hi Sally,

    Add the pdf address for your new page, then try to find this line in your template (Template > Edit HTML):
    <b:loop values='data:links' var='link'>

    And below it, you should see some lines starting with "<li><a expr:href="... look for the last one just before the "</ul>" tag and add the code in bold like this:

    <li><a expr:href='data:link.href' target="_blank"><data:link.title/></a></li>

    And Save your Template. Please make a backup of your current template before anything.
    I hope this will work for you. Thanks for visiting!

    Apparently the format changed, I was able to add, edit, and delete static pages in two manners.
    1) go to layout, and click on EDIT where it shows the PAGE TABS appear on your blog.

    OR

    2) Look at your actual blog (not from the dashboard). Where the little wrench appears on the right of your PAGES/TABS, click on that.

    Either way, a BLOGGER CONFIGURE PAGE LIST window pops up.

    1) REARRANGE the Pages by clicking on the left icon and dragging.

    2) DELETE BY Clicking the "x" on the right side

    3) TO ADD A NEW STATIC PAGE - At the bottom of the window click on ADD LINK PAGE.

    4) TO EDIT EXISTING STATIC PAGE TITLE: No edit option. You have to delete entirely and re-add in order to "edit" wording for your tab.

    Hi Timmy,

    From your Blogger dashboard, go to Layout and on the right side you should see the Pages widget > click on the Edit link... and take a look at this screenshot for more info.

    Hi Not sure if anyone has asked but is it possible to have a log in entry for different pages such that only certain users who has the password can view that particular page?

    Hi Admin, I've tried you're label solution and I don't see anywhere to enter the web address when I create a new page. Has anyone made a video on this?
