Help

This is a place to post information about ways to customize your blog more and find solutions to your Blogger problems. While the Blogger help page is always a solid starting point, this can help put the most common questions and answers in one, easy to locate spot.

Please feel free to post questions in the comments section and we can work through potential solutions or workarounds together. I will alphabetize and categorize problems and solutions as this section grows.

In the meantime, here's a few "how to" questions that have already come up and the answers to them:

How do I create tabs, or "pages", in my blog?

1. In your Layout section, add the "pages" gadget. Drag to the top of the screen to create tabs or to the side for a menu bar effect.
2. Go to the "Posting" section and "edit pages" and "create new page". Name it and start posting content if you wish. Make sure to publish.
3. Go back into your pages gadget and make sure that both your "Home" and any other page are clicked to view and save. Your new tab or page(s) should now be visible.
4. Note: You cannot publish multiple posts on new pages, but it can be an effective way to categorize information and make it easily accessible, like an additional "About me" or "Contact" or "Photos" or even "Help" page.

How do I create links in a comment?

Follow the steps below found in an article from the Bexter Review. In sum:

1. Paste the following code into your comment:
   <a href="http://thebexter.com"> The Bexter Review</a>
2. Put the website address you want to link to in the " "
3. Put the words/phrase you want to be linked to that web address after the quotes and the > (where it says The Bexter Review here)

So for example, if I wanted my comment to say the following: "Please see the IU South Bend website for more information", the comment would look like following before publication in my draft/view:

Please see the <a href="http://www.iusb.edu">IU South Bend website</a> for more information.
