Recently, Blogger launched the much awaited Blogger Pages Feature.
So, lets see how to Create Static Pages in Blogger.
1. Sign into Blogger Draft (draft.blogger.com)
2. Click on New Post as usual.
3. Select the Edit Pages from the top menu
4. Click on 'New Page' button.
5. Now, give your page a title and write the content and publish the page.
6. If you want to display the Pages list in your Blog sidebar, select the 'Blog Sidebar' option,or you can keep it as nav menu below header by selecting 'Blog Tabs' option.
Note: If You've Selected either 'Blog Sidebar' or ' Blog Tabs ' option and if you see any bx-error,.. then, come back to last page and select 'No Gadget' option.
This means,you have to add the links manually to your template.
Click on Edit Pages again and Right Click on View -> Copy link location (in firefox) and Add the link manually in your sidebar via Link widget or you can add the link in your navigation bar via template > edit html.
Thanks to Blogger for the Awesome feature.. :D
Edit: As of now, Blogger allows you to only create pages up to 10. But, you can hack blogger to create more pages. You can read that tutorial here.(by Switcher)

I've also written the post on the same topic..!! But you have given better tutorial than i've :) to be honest...anyways it was good visitn u...keep in touch!!
@ Bloggossips,
haha..thanks mate :D
wow...nice info I haven't known this, before
Thanks for this. I do have a question though. Is it only for a single post? How can you add posts to the second page?
Your blog is awesome! I was so excited to hear Blogger has added this feature, but I don't have the Edit Pages or New Page Button on my blog. Why can't I see them at my blog?
Nevermind! I realize now that I was in my regular Dashboard, not Blogger Draft!! I can see it now. Thanks again and I'm adding your site to my blog roll.
@ Betty Jo,
Thanks dude.. :)
any real sample..??
Thanks kranthi...
Does it look like top level domain name
bloggertricks.com/how-to-create-static-pages-in-blogger
Or we still have date & year in url

@ brace,
It will look like
bloggerticks.com/p/post-title.html
No dates.
This is something I did not know until now, and like someone else above I was looking for it in the regular blogger dashboard. :P
It's a shame we're only allowed 10 different pages, wish Google would offer us more than that.
I hacked the 10 Page limit, the first day Blogger posted this new feature, on their blog.
I have a test blog that has 14 of the new Blogger Pages, I only posted 14 because I got tired of creating new pages, lol.
I'm keeping an eye on my test blog to see how it works, long term... :)
@ Switcher,
Wah wah..!! How mate.. ?
@ kranthi
I posted a new tutorial about hacking Blogger Pages, here is my new blog post:

@ Switcher,
Wow.. Very good job mate.. I updated the post with your link.
@ kranthi
Thanks,
I'll have to wait to see how Blooger deals with the New Static Pages (long term) once they release the Page option from Blogger Draft, to the regular Blogger Dashboard.
Thanks for the link. :)
Good post. It was long time you haven't post. Right?
Thank you! I was just thinking about how I'd solve the lack of static pages problem. This helped me so much.
I recommend manual linking, though. The 'blog tabs' navbar isn't customisable as far as I can see (except for link order) and looks weird on some backgrounds.
Thanks for this. Good post.
Hi there i am going to start a new website for that content can u suggest me anything for that .

Thanks! Glad I found you! Question--Can you make a page that will have all of your posts with a certain label? Such as "projects"?
Hi, please excus may poor english! I wanto to use yor Schemer Mag Template, but it had some problems, acording to some comments on that post, pleae tell me if those problems have been solved? Thank you very much, yor Schemer Template es just beautiful and I really want to put it on my blog!
Comments about problems:
1. This is really great and all but when you go to the post page, the picture is still a thumbnail. How to fix?
2. When you click "more" to read a post and the post contains an image and only a line or two of text, the image is cut in half by the comments section divider. See example: http://www.foothillspta.org/2009/07/safe-walkways.html

kranthi,i need your help,how to show "author" and "date post" on schemer mag templates ? Please help .
what should i do for this page
http://mdaatif.blogspot.com/p/archive_5137.html
Static pages are a useful feature no doubt! The static pages will not be used as posts, so they should not appear in your RSS feed. Also, comments for static pages aren't needed, in my opinion.
Thanks for this awesome guide! I now have static link and privacy policy pages. I also figured out the whole 'menu at the top of the page' with specific pages dedicated to a different tag each. Check it out!
