Do you want to create a static page in your blogspot blog just  like wordpress users do it ? Blogger has made it easy for you.

Since two weeks now, it's possible to make a static page in blogger via Blogger in draft. This static pages can help you to set a "Contact" page, a "About Me" page, etc. You only have a limitation of 10 pages. I think it can be enough for most blog, but it will not be bad if blogger set it to a more important number in the future.

Inlike normal blog post, when published, a page will not appaer at homepage of your blog or in archive (and it doesn’t have labels).

To create a static page for your blogspot blog, you only need to go to your Blogger account vi Blogger in draft, clic on “New post” and in the next page, clic on “Edit pages”. You will the see a button to create a new page, clicit. Add content to your new stand-alone page and publish it.

Next, you’ll have the choice of showing links to your pages in a menu bar (just under the header) or in a Linklist widget in your sidebar. Make your choice and I

The cool thing with the pages menu bar, it’s that you can drag and drop items inside.

So, you want to have a wordpress like page in your blogspot blog ? Just log in Blogger in draft and have fun !

Want to show related posts with thumbnails ? LinkWithin can help.


One of the best method to keep visitor reading others posts of your blog after reading the one they come in for, it's to show them related posts at the end of each post of your blog.And LinkWithin make it easy for you to do that.

With this widget, your past posts will not go waste cause it will index all your blog archive to give to your new and past readers a way to an accessibility to them.

LinkWithin is just a free widget wich take your blog to another level by showing related posts with thumbnails.

One day, you'll peraph's sell your blog for one million dollar or will just have to give it to another person cause of lack of time to maintain it. If you have others blogs in your Blogger account and want to let the new owner to have a total access and control to his new blog without seeing you among administrators you can just transfer the blog to his account. This task is really simple like we will see it set by step.

1. Send an invitation to the new owner of the blog and set him as an administrator when he'll accept your invite.

1. Create a New blog for your visiting card
2. Create two posts, one for your "About" page and the other for your "Contact" page. In the "Contact" just put a word, what ever, it'll not appaer when you'll install the visiting card blogger template.
