A new "Page" gadget

Blogger.com has added a new "Page" gadget which provides another way for you to display your About Us or Contributors page. Or, you can use the gadget to create a new page with contact information or the purpose of the blog. Pages created with the Page gadget are "static" pages and you can have up to 10 of them on your blog.

To get a new Page:
  1. Click the Layout tab
  2. Click Add a Gadget
  3. Click Pages
  4. Make any changes, optional
  5. Click Save
  6. Click the Posting tab
  7. You should now have a Edit Pages link
  8. Click New Page
  9. Add a Title (title of the page)
  10. Add the body (looks like a post)
  11. Click Publish Page when done
When you view your blog, you will now see a Pages Gadget in the side navigation (unless you made changes in step 4 above).

To add another page, repeat steps 6 through 11 above.

To edit an existing page, return to the Posting tab, click Edit Pages, find the page you want to edit and click Edit.

To delete an existing page, return to the Posting tab, click Edit Pages, find the page you want to edit and click Delete.

You can also control the location of where this gadget will appear on your blog.  It can appear anywhere within the side navigation or you could move it to the top above your posts. To move it to the top, go to the Layout tab, locate the Pages box, click, hold and drag it up above the Blog Posts, release your mouse.
