Adding Standing Pages

Standing pages are great! If you are wondering what a standing page is, look near the top of my blog. You will see "Home" (which is where you are reading this) and "All About Me" which is the standing page that I just added for the purpose of showing you how to add one. If you are a teacher, you may want to add standing pages to focus on different subjects or different things you would like your community to be able to find quickly on your blog. If you are a director of a Childcare Development Center (Hi Ronda) you may want to use a different standing page to showcase the different classes. This is how you add a standing page.
Click on your "Posting" tab and instead of choosing "new post", choose "edit pages". Since you haven't added a page yet, you will see a blue button that says "new page". Click on it.
Once you click on it, you will see a page like the one above. This is the 'new' editor on blogger but it is very similar to the old version. I added the title "All About Me", Uploaded an unflattering picture taken by my four year old son, wrote a few sentences and clicked "Publish Page".
When I did that, Blogger sent me to a page like you see above. This is where you choose where you would like your standing pages to be. You can have them on the side of the blog or near the top (see those beautiful blue boxes again?). Choose what is right for you and click "Save and Publish".
If you want to make changes to any standing page, or add a new one (you can add up to 10), just click on 'Edit Page". The "Home" page is the main part of your blog (like where you are reading this).
Happy Blogging!
