We will investigate the various gadgets in Blogger (and there's many!), and post our experiences on the Home Page, as individual posts.
Initially, following Bart's suggestion, we thought that perhaps we could post our comments on the various gadgets on a different tab (page) behind the Home Page. The Home Page could then show only the headlines of new posts, to allow people to select which posts to read - according to their interests. The alternative being that the home page lists a great many posts in sequence, which after time becomes too long, not very user-friendly.
Unfortunately, as far as we could see, it is not possible to make posts on such a second page: the page itself is a post, on which you can comment (or not, depending on page settings). This is confirmed by looking at some other blogs using such different pages.
Therefore, we decided to leave separate pages (tabs) as single posts, as a way to clarify certain thoughts (such as: our plan of action).
Here's Enrique's solution:
ReplyDeleteInstead of using new 'pages', just
- post on the home page, and specify a certain tag-word in the 'LABELS' below your post
- go to the Design section (button on top right hand side) and select the Labels gadget
- EDIT the Labels gadget to also show the selected tag.
The selected tag will now appear under the Labels heading (right hand side of your screen, in our current blog layout): when you click on your tag word the blog will list ONLY the posts with the tag word.
According to Konstantina Georga there is a way to allow several posts on a separate 'page', but that requires modifications in HTML !
