How to create extra pages at the top of your Blog

Good Morning all, I do have a card to post but decided that today I might share with you something I discovered how to do yesterday. As you can see at the top of my blog under my heading I have now got several extra pages and if youd like to know how to do it on your own blog I will guide you through the proceedure.

1. Go into your design page and under your heading click on "Add a Gadget" then scroll down the list till you come to a heading  "Pages" its about 3 boxes down, click on this and it will show you that you can now add a bar to add your extra pages to, this will only show as "Home" to start of with, and the next step will give you the extra pages you want. Click Save and then go and look at your blog to make sure its there.

Once this is done the next step is relatively easy, go to "Dashboard" click on "Edit Posts" and it will give you a list of all your posts, at the top of the bar you will see under the main tabs, "New Post", "Edit Post" and "Edit Pages" and this is the one you want to click on, this is the one thats going to create your pages.

2. Click on "New Page" and it will bring up what looks like a post page (which it is) and if you then put your "Heading in the Title Page" and click on save, it will give you the next tab after the "Home" page, you can then repeat this proceedure as and when you want to add extra pages to your tab bar. Hope you find this helpful you can add upto 10 pages along this bar.

Ive done it so that I can tidy up my blog as I had it going on forever with bits and pieces, and Awards, I do hope you enjoy finding out you can do it, its relatively easy to do. I have now put it in my tutorial page at the top.

Ive been asked this evening how you use these pages, you treat it like a continuous post, you start by clicking on the tab and then you will find a pen on the left hand side, click on this and it will take you to edit the post you then add what you want as you would a normal post, then click on save and it will then show it on that page like a normal post. You carnt drag anything that youve all ready got on your blog but you can copy and paste things in the normal way as you would a normal post. Its just one continuous post. Hope this helps.

God Bless you Shirley. I've been wanting to do this for quite a while & am still waiting for a computer literate person who promised to help, some months ago, but, never found the time I guess. Thanks for sharing.

This is excellent info Shirley, but, I have tried it, got a page/tab added like you have explained, but how do you add things.

For example, I did won for blog awards, tried to drag a blog award to it, but did not happen!!!!
Any suggestions greatly recieved x

PS... thanks for the info about keeping a post at the top of your page xx

Hi Shirley

Thank you so much for this.

I have often wondered how people have set up the extra tabs. You are one clever lady!!!

I must have a go at this once life settles down a little.

I looked at your tutorial tab to see how they work. I understand Shirley if you want to get rid of my Christmas tree tutorial and just have your own ones there. I don't want to clutter up your space.

I see you won ove at Penny Black Saturday last week. Well done!!

Hope all is good at your end.

Love Jules xx
