3. Click “Customize” in the Theme section.
4. Click “Pages.”
5. Click “Add a Page.”
6. Type a Page URL after the slash (/). For example, a resume page could be /resume, and a bio page could be /bio.
7. Check the box that says “Show a Link to This Page” and give the page a title in the field next to the checkbox.

How do I edit a Page?

• Custom Layout: Uses custom code to tailor the way the Page looks.

Pages vs. Tags

If you want to see all your posts about a given topic in one place, we recommend using tags and tag links.

Troubleshooting

Why can’t I see links to my Pages on my blog?

All of our featured blog themes contain code that will show Pages links on your blog. If the Pages links aren’t showing up, one of two things could be the issue:

• You could be running a theme that doesn’t contain the code.
• You are running Custom HTML so your blog has not received the latest version of the theme that contains the code

How can I make sure Page links show up on my blog?

There are a few ways to fix this:

1. Change themes or reinstall an updated version of a theme.
2. Create an HTML link in the Description or Custom HTML of your blog that points to your Page. For example:
   

   <a href="/pageurl">My Page!</a>

   (replace “pageurl” with the URL you set for your Page)
3. Edit the Custom HTML for your blog on the Theme tab. Go to “Customize” and add the necessary code to the theme. For more info, check out our blog theme documentation.
