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).

Sometimes, there are features that Blogger introduce but that most users ignore. I thing it's the case of the new post editor which is more improved than the old one, but even if you've create a new blogger account yesterday or today, you'll still have the old post editor to use.
