One of the disappointments of Blogger/Blogspot vs WordPress was the lack of static pages. Static pages are great for adding information that does not change–such as your Full Disclosure page, your About You page, your favorite blog posts–and I’ve been waiting for this feature for a long time!

When I logged in this morning, I was surprised (pleasantly) to see the new option (illustrated above)! From the Blogger Help page, “What are Pages?“:

Blogger pages let you to publish static information on stand-alone pages linked from your blog. For example, you can use pages to create an About This Blog page that discusses the evolution of your blog, or a Contact Me page that provides directions, a phone number, and a map to your location.

Once your page is published, you can link to it from the new Pages widget. The Pages widget lets you add links to your pages as tabs at the top of your blog, or as links in your blog’s sidebar. (Note: existing third party templates may not support pages as tabs, but pages can still be added as links in your blog’s sidebar)

In the Pages widget, you can decide which pages will have links, and in what order they will appear. You can also choose whether or not you want links automatically created for pages when you create them by checking or unchecking the box to the left of Add New Pages by Default.

I’ll be exploring this for sure! Have you used Pages yet in Blogger/Blogspot?
