    1. How do I create a separate page for blogspot?

    For example, let's say I wanted to create an "about me" page.

    how do i create a separate page just for "about me"

    If you're not getting what I'm saying, it's this:

    if you look at my blog, and click on the "submit yours" tab, all it does is link back to a post I posted on the blog. it even shows the date when I posted it.

    how can i create a separate page for "submit yours" without it showing the date and stuff.

    Go to the "add gadget" to create the about me, but it wouldnt be at separate page, it can only at the homepage.

    You can't do that with blogger, you can however get a free wordpress blog hosted at the wordpress site and have more pages.

    Hope this helps :)

    I'm glad you posted this and I know what you mean because I have an "About" tab that just links back to the home page of my blogger blog. And much like you I presume, I do not want to have the about or about me description incorporated on every post that I make. So...

    First off, the html needs to be edited in order to create a separate working link to a separate "About" Page. And what I intend do from there is try and compliment the color scheme into a separate About template that I will create just like you would do for your disclaimer and privacy policy pages.

    Let me know how things turn out!

    You have to add an html code inside your blogger template and not add a gadget. I was a bit confused at first but realized what you meant when jj hiller responded.

    Update us if you're able to resolve it.

    Ok I get it now. So I have to use an html code.

    What is the html code, and where in the template do it put it?

    Find these codes inside your template.


    <div id='header-wrapper'><!-- header-->
    <b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='no'>
    <b:widget id='Header1' locked='true' title='put name of your blog here(Header)' type='Header'/>
    </b:section>
    </div><!-- END HEADER-->

    <div id='cssmenu'><!-- cssmenu2-->
    <ul>
    <li><a href='http://www.nameofyourbloghere.com/' title='Home'>Home</a></li>
    <li><a href='http://www.nameofyourbloghere.html' title='About'>About</a></li>

    </ul>

    You have to create a page for "About Me" and link that up to the html code.

    Let me know if this one works.

    You need to do a blog post for that then put the link of that post to your "about me" html code.

    That's the thing with blogger, unlike wordpress, blogger doesn't have the functionality to create a page.

    Any chance you want to switch to wordpress?
