Pages vs Posts on Blogger.com: What’s the Difference & How to Show Pages in Your Menu

When you’re just getting started on Blogger.com, one of the first questions that pops up is: “What’s the difference between a page and a post?”

And just as importantly: “How do I make my pages show up in the menu?”

Don’t worry—I’ve got you! In this beginner-friendly guide, we’ll break down the difference between pages and posts on Blogger, and I’ll walk you through how to show your pages in your blog’s main menu.


Pages vs Posts: The Key Difference

Let’s simplify it:

Posts = Blog Entries

Posts are your regular blog updates. Think of them like journal entries or news articles. They appear in reverse chronological order (newest at the top) on your blog’s home page.

Examples of Posts:

• “5 Ways to Practice Self-Care as a Busy Mom”

• “Why I Switched to Natural Supplements for Energy”

• “Behind the Scenes: Creating My First Digital Product”

Posts can be organized using labels (tags) and are often updated frequently.


Pages = Static Content

Pages are for content that doesn’t change much and isn’t part of your daily blogging. They’re perfect for information you want readers to access anytime from your menu or footer.

Examples of Pages:

• About Me

• Contact

• Shop

• Free Resources

• Work With Me

Pages aren’t listed with your blog posts. They stay static, which makes them perfect for building out your main site structure.


How to Create a Page on Blogger

1. Log in to your Blogger dashboard.

2. On the left-hand side, click Pages.

3. Click the orange + New Page button.

4. Give your page a title and write your content.

5. Hit Publish.

Repeat the same steps for each page you want on your blog (About, Contact, etc.).


How to Add Pages to Your Menu

Now that you’ve created your pages, let’s get them to show in your blog’s navigation menu.

Step-by-Step: Add Pages to the Menu in Blogger

1. Go to your Blogger dashboard.

2. Click Layout on the left sidebar.

3. Find the section labeled Pages (sometimes called “Top Menu” or “Menu Bar”) and click Edit.

4. A pop-up box will appear showing all your published pages.

5. Check the boxes next to the pages you want to appear in the menu.

6. Drag and drop to reorder them if needed.

7. Click Save.

8. Then hit Save arrangement in the Layout section to make sure your changes stick.

That’s it! When you go back to your live blog, you’ll see your selected pages in the top navigation menu.


Bonus Tip: Add Custom Links to Your Menu

Want to link to something else (like an external website, product, or even a blog label)? You can do that too.

1. Go to Layout > Pages > Edit.

2. Click + Add external link.

3. Add your title (like “Shop Now” or “Digital Course”).

4. Paste the URL.

5. Save and reorder as needed.


Final Thoughts

Understanding the difference between pages and posts helps you build a well-organized blog that’s easy for your visitors to navigate. Use posts for your regular content and pages for your essentials. Then, show them off by adding them to your blog menu in just a few clicks.

Let your blog be your beautiful online space—clear, clickable, and custom to you.

Blogs are Out. Bios are IN. (But Wait—Don’t Ditch Your Blog Just Yet 👀)

are Out. Bios are IN. (But Wait—Don’t Ditch Your Blog Just Yet 👀) Let’s be real: people don’t have time to scroll through 2,000-word blog posts anymore to figure out what you do and how you can help them. These days, your bio is your blog. That quick, scroll-stopping intro on your Link in Bio, your Stan Store, your IG profile—that’s where the magic happens. If your bio doesn’t make people FEEL something or click something, they’re gone. 🏃‍♀️💨 BUT HERE’S THE CATCH 👉 Blogs still matter. Not because people are reading them like novels—but because Google is. 🧠 Your blog is your behind-the-scenes SEO machine. It tells search engines what you’re about, what you sell, and who should find you. That’s traffic you don’t even have to ask for. So yes—put your energy into a high-converting bio. Make it sizzle. Make it YOU. But don’t sleep on your blog. It’s not the main show anymore—but it’s still a powerful silent partner in your brand empire. 💼✨
