How to add Tabs to Your Menu Bar in Blogger

This was probably the most frustrating thing for me to figure out when I first started my blog. It's actually really easy. So without further ado –

STEP 1

In your Blogger Dashboard go to the Overview Screen and click on the “Pages” link on the left side of the screen.

STEP 2

Your Pages Screen should now be up. Click the “New Page” button. IMPORTANT: Don't click the little "Compose/pencil" button at the top of the screen; this will create a "Post" not a "Page."

STEP 3

The screen for creating a Page looks a lot like the screen for creating a Post. IMPORTANT: Give the Page the title that you want to see as a Tab in your menu bar. When you are finished writing up the body of the Page, hit “Publish.”

 STEP 4

You should now be back at the Pages Screen and your new Page should be listed. Now click the “Layout” link on the left side of the screen.

STEP 5

Now you should see the screen for your blog layout. Click the “Add a Gadget” in the horizontal space below the Header.

STEP 6

A Gadget menu will pop up. Scroll down until you see the option for “Pages” and then click on the plus sign.

STEP 7

A Configure Page List will pop up. You should see a list of the Page/s you created earlier. Check all that you want to have shown as Tabs in your menu bar. NOTE: I leave the title blank because I don’t think a menu bar really needs a title. Click “Save.”

STEP 8

After you click save you will see your Layout screen again. You will now see a horizontal “Pages” box where the “Add a Gadget” box used to be. IMPORTANT: At this point make sure that you click the “Save Arrangement” button! I have forgotten this step before and lost a lot of work, yikes!

STEP 9

View your blog and see your beautiful new Menu Bar!!!!!
