HOW TO ADD BLOGGER POSTS TO PAGES & NAVIGATION LINKS

So many clients ask us how to get only specific Blogger posts to show on a page which can then be displayed and linked to through the navigation menu tabs (page menu). Adding pages in Blogger is a simple task that we will review in this tutorial but if you want to add a category or group of Blogger posts to a page that can then be displayed via a link in the navigation menu it does take a bit of explaining (we promise its easy though).
We will show you how to get only certain posts on a page in Blogger and link to that page from your navigation menu. Although it may seem impossible now you will find that it is actually quite easy once you understand how it all works.

It’s much easier to show you how to add Blogger posts to pages then to explain the concept of what we are trying to accomplish but to give you a better explanation of exactly what we are trying to do lets take this example: You write about multiple topics, lets say “recipes” and “projects” are a few of them. You want your navigation menu up at the top of your blog on Blogger to display these categories (so you want the words “recipes” & “projects” in your navigation/pages menu) and when people click on the word from the navigation menu you want that page to display all the posts that are about that topic. So when someone clicks on “recipes” all your recipe posts show up. When someone clicks on “projects” all your posts about projects come up, etc….. If this is what you are trying to accomplish then keep reading!

You know that it is possible to add Blogger posts to pages because you have seen it done – you visit a Blogger blog click on a link in their navigation menu and there you see it all nice and organized – ONLY posts related to that subject! So how did they get all those content related posts onto one page? The truth is it isn’t really a page at all, yes it does appear to be a page but really it’s just an archive of those posts. It’s pretty much the same – the posts do show up on a page but they were not manually put onto a “page” in Blogger – knowing that those Blogger posts are archived is the key element to how this all works! This is actually great news because it will make your life much easier – who wants to spend all day manually putting posts on a page, right!

Whats the trick then? Labels! Labels will categorize your posts and pretty much group them into sections. Then all you have to do is add the word you want to your navigation menu (page list) and link it to the url of the label archive. Sound confusing? Stay with me – we will walk you through each step! Lets get started!

You may already have posts that you want to apply this to and thats okay – you can go back and do this with older posts but in the example below we are we are going to start fresh with a new post to show you how to add Blogger posts to pages and then link them to your navigation menu tabs, you can open an older post and follow along that way as well!
