From time to time, in Blogger Help Forum: How Do I?, we see evidence of the confusion.
How do I hide the Home tab?or
I can't rename my pages!Some blog owners may know of one Pages management wizard, but not another. To the untrained, it may all seem like one big magic show.
There are actually 3 wizards, which let us manage the pages.
- The Configure Page List wizard (aka Pages gadget).
- The Layout wizard.
- The Pages wizard.
The Configure Page List wizard is accessed from the Layout wizard, by Editing the Pages gadget - or can be accessed from the blog face, using the QuickEdit icon, if QuickEdit is enabled. It has several functions, in managing pages.
- Change the Title of the Pages gadget, in the Layout wizard display.
- Hide / Show specific pages.
- Reorder specific pages, by dragging and dropping in the Page order wizard.
The Layout wizard is accessed from the dashboard. It has two functions, in managing pages.
- Provide access to the "Configure Page List" wizard, by Editing the Pages gadget.
- Relocate / restructure the pages list, by dragging and dropping the Pages gadget.
- Drag the Pages gadget to the top of the blog layout, and it morphs into the tabs gadget.
- Drag the Pages gadget into the sidebar, and it morphs into a linklist.
The Pages wizard is accessed from the dashboard. It has various functions, in managing pages.
- Hide / relocate / restructure the pages list, by changing the "Show pages as" selection.
- Selected as "Top tabs", it relocates to the top of the blog layout, and morphs to the tabs gadget.
- Selected as "Side links", it relocates to the top of the sidebar, and morphs into a linklist.
- Selected as "Don't show", it disappears, and lets you develop your own page list gadget (or not).
- Reorder specific pages, by dragging and dropping in the Pages order wizard.
- Add pages, using the "New page" selection.
- Selecting "Blank page", you can create a new static page.
- Selecting "Web address", you can create a new dynamic page.
- Selecting "Edit" or "Delete" for a specific page beneath "Pages", you can
- Edit the Title of a page.
- Edit the content of a static page.
- Edit the URL of a dynamic page.
- Delete a page.
None of this is magic - though the differing abilities of the several different wizards may bring to mind the different members in a typical MMORPG team.
