Blogger.com is one of the most popular free blogging platforms in the world. But as it is a free services, features are limited in Blogger.com. For example, Blogger don’t offer any features to add static pages. But what if you want to add a static page to your Blogger-powered blog? Is there any way to create static pages on blogspot blogs? Don’t worry! Though there are no default static page features on Blogger.com, static pages can be easily added with simple tweak. Read on to know more.

Steps to add a static page to your Blogger.com blog:

1. Login to your Blogger.com account.
2. As usual, click on “New Post” to create a blog post.
3. Write the content that you want to display on your static page.
4. Once you are ready with your content, expand the “Posts Options” section on the bottom left of your blog post editor.
5. Once expanded, the “Post Options” section displays options for reader comments on left. Check the appropriate button. Normally, you may not want to enable comments on your static pages. In that case check the “Don’t allow, hide existing” button.
6. In expanded view, the “Post Options” section displays “Post date and time” options on right side. As you don’t want your static page content to appear on blog home page and on RSS feed update, you need to backdate your post. Specify a date and time which is earlier than your first blog post.
7. Then publish your post. That’s it! You have just created your first static page.

Steps to remove date from static pages:

After publishing the post, you my want to hide the date and time stamp from the post. To hide date and time stamp from your blog post, follow these steps:

1. In your Blogger blog dashboard, go to the “Layout” section.
2. Open the “Edit HTML” tab.
3. Check the “Expand Widget Templates” checkbox.
4. Search for <data:post.dateHeader/> in your template code (You can use Ctrl+F to easily search and find your code).
5. Add the following code before the above mentioned code:

<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>

6. Now, add the following code after <data:post.dateHeader/>:

</b:if>

7. That’s it! Now, date will be hidden on posts that have comments disabled. As you have disabled the comments on your static page, the page won’t display the post date as well.

Steps to add a static page link:

Copy the URL of your static page and add a link to it from home page, sidebar, header or from anywhere on your blog. For example, if your new static page is about “Advertising” and the URL is http://yourblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/advertising.html, then you can use the following code :

<a href="http://yourblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/advertising.html">Advertising</a>

You can add it directly to your template code. But if you are not familiar with HTML and CSS, simple use HTML/JavaScript or Link List gadget to insert the code. If you want the static page link to appear on blog header, you can also add the link code in “Description” field under the “Basic” tab of your blog “Settings” section.
