5 Minutes to Static Blogger/Blogspot Pages

Hi How about when we want to add more than one static page? I tried using http://[ADDRESS].blogspot.com/search/label/xxx but can not work. I have also tried label1 or xxy but can not. Any help will be appreciated, Thank you for sharing your discovery.

l.

label1 is definitely wrong ... would it be possible to add me as a publisher to your blog? - that way i could check your template and the rest ... and post a solution for your problem

btw it shouldn't be a problem to add more than one static page that way

Yes, of course. I am very new at blogger. I am going to add you now. Thank you.

Have I added you? I have just sent an invitation to you to be an author. Sorry I am not sure about that.

you've added me, but for some reason i'm not able to see the layout page for your blog ... anyway your 'About Page' works like expected (no posts, no post-header like date ect.).

the only thing i would change is that you should link back to http://[ADDRESS].blogspot.com/ (change the a href for the WELCOME link in your menu)

i will create a second how-to "how to have more than one static page" soon

I am not understanding. Should we use a different address?(I think so) for the next static page? If so, what would it look like? Currently, I am using this for the Welcome page(http://[ADDRESS].blogspot.com/search/label/xxx)

which I do not understand where is what path. For my next page, should it be something to end with xxy? or something. Thank you.

the idea behind my solution/workaround is that you are using a label which you are not really using as a label(sorry - if that sounds a bit weird) to decide if the javascript/html widget should be visible or not.

to add a second static-page you have to
- add one more javascript/html widget
- change the template source (but that's a bit tricky - i will write another how-to regarding to this question

My part is at the template tweaking part I think. The widget I have added another one already. It just keeps parsing back to the first static page. Anyway, thanks a lot I will just go with one first.

:)

no worries - the additional how-to will be online soon.

thx for your comments - they are prooving that somebody understood what to do, and that my how-to is not too complicated ;)

Hi do you mind if we can chat for some time at google chat? I tried adding you but could not work. Please try inviting me or something. Thank you I am anticipating your next one.

:)

sorry - i'm not able to log on gmail from here, but if you have questions, you coul'd use the contact-me form

Sorry for the trouble, it is okay. Thanks.

I am not able to see the new page.

@Hardev ... no offense, but do you really think i can help you without some kind of description?

Hi, I added the page element. I've done all of the steps neccessary in the Edit HTML section. Now, how do I use the element? Where is the url link I need to see the page?

@homme times: if you followed all the steps like descriped, you can just simply link to http://[ADDRESS].blogspot.com/search/label/xxx - then you will see the 'static page'

this is going to sound dumb- I am trying to learn all this and have tried countless "tabs" methods, finally found a template with tabs worked in (as a link bar linking to searches on labels) and need a static home page.

so, in the code where you say YourSite.blogspot.com/search/label/xxx I took it to mean xxx should be replaced with the label we want, like Home. is that incorrect? should I use xxx

I have put this code in as specified and get this message:
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The value of attribute "cond" associated with an element type "null" must not contain the '<' character.

thank you for posting all this, by the way- it is really great of you. and my name is Trishia, not sure why it suddenly quit showing that in blogger posts? anyway- thanks!

ok, bugging you again- I got it all fixed, accepted the code- saved changes, but nothing is happening. the site looks the same as before, I added a new post with no labels, nothing- added a new post with the xxx label, nothing. what am I doing wrong?

upload your template somewhere and post the link (or use the contact form to send me the link) - i will have a look

Hey Kajdo,

Is there someway that I could make you a publisher so that you could do this for me? I pust in all of the codes right but it is giving me a message like this:

Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The element type "b:if" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".

I dont know what Im doing wrong.

Hey S.T.

sorry for the late reply. you could either copy your template and make a "dummy blog" with another google user - and send me the login information (contact form), or you could give me your master login, ... or you could simply send me your template and i will try to fix it.

i'm currently thinking about a solution via widget(s), but i haven't finished thinking yet ;)

Hi, cau u help me pls? i realy need at least one static page on my template. i just can't get it to work!! :(
Can i send it to you vie e-mail and do it for me?
pls contact me if you want to hepl me.
thank you!

Hey,
I followed your directions, and it worked wonderfully! ..until I bought a domain name. (it's just username.com rather than username.blogspot.com) Can you suggest some way for me to fix this? Now when I click on the link I made it says "No posts match your query."
Thank you!!

Frankly I do not know why you have made it so complicated. You said your method is based on Hoctro's http://hoctrointro.blogspot.com/2008/09/adding-front-page-to-your-blog.html which does the job already. Whats with all the added codes?

Its juat a simple drag and drop and add two lines of code to make the front page shows only at the front.

And to hide the blog posts from appearing in the front page, just go to your Settings>Formatting and select 0 posts to show.

where can i find the link of my static page?
answer me pleease.. asap.
thankiess..

woohoooooooo.. finally it works perfectly.. clap clap! thanks.

I have my static page... how do I link the two together... Nothing is on my "home" blogspot page but i can type the whole url that contains my label.xxx page but not sure how to create the link on my default page.
thanks! You're site has helped me the mostest!! :)

just curious... how did you create the links bar to your static pages? :) sorry if its a dumb question.

check out my blog for reference..

Thanks so much. There are so many pages out there claiming to show you how to create a static page on Blogger but all of them suggest the crappy technique of creating a normal blog post and then changing the posting date; this was the only website with a decent solution.

I've got it down, but I want to know if I can keep the widget on my main page and make it a link?
