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 answer to it:

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

1. In your Design 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. Save and this will now show up as a tab or page.
3. 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 in this article from the Bexter Review. 

In brief, you need to use a little html coding to add a link in a comment. I've summarized the steps below.

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 you want to link to that address after the quotes and > (where it ways The Bexer Review here)

For example, if I wanted my comment to say:

"Please see the IU South Bend website for more information",

the comment would look like the following before publication in my draft/view:

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