News!! How To Non Present Whatever Posts On Your Blog's Dwelling Household Page, Using Blogger

You tin ship away laid your weblog upwards thence that no posts are shown on the primary covert - provided y'all receive got used some of the other "home page" approaches to reach readers other ways of getting to your content.

Previously I've explained how to only exhibit ane post service on the primary page of your blog.

But some people who desire to give their weblog a domicile page go farther than that, too don't exhibit whatsoever posts on the primary covert at all.   (Remember, the primary covert is where people who navigate to your blog, rather than to posts inside it, go.)

This sounds similar a foreign affair to produce - afterwards all, blogs are near posts.

But genuinely it's fine, provided y'all work another tools to allow readers motility unopen to the blog.  I've made a 150+ page weblog this way, too it plant really nicely because I receive got organised the data too used some index-pages (containing lists of bus-routes, suburbs, maps etc) amongst tables that link to many other posts.

How to exhibit no (ie zero, 0) posts on the primary screen

Some people desire to produce this, every bit piece of work of the procedure of giving their weblog a domicile page.  It's non possible if your weblog has a Dynamic thene, but tin ship away hold upwards done for blogs amongst Layout themes.

There are at to the lowest degree 2 ways of doing it.

Option 1 - work a custom re-direct for your home-page

Make a novel Page (Pages > New Page) too add together the cloth which y'all desire to exhibit on your primary screen.    Publish this page.

Take a note of the URL of the Page that y'all work created.

Go to Settings > Search preferences > Errors too re-directions > Custom re-directs

Click Edit too thence New re-direct

In the dialog box which opens:

• Enter a back-slash (ie   /  )into the start (From) box.

• Enter the URL of the page that y'all noted before into the mo (To) box
• In the To box, take the blog-address, because Blogger already adds that for you.
  Eg if your URL is     http:/www.myBlog.com/p/home.html
  too thence only come inwards           /p/home.html
  
  (note that y'all continue the backslash (/) only before the P.

Click the Permanent checkbox.

Click Save just nether the entry y'all only made - it straight off looks similar this:

Click Save changes.

Job Done!   Anyone who goes to your blog's domicile page volition straight off become automatically to the alternative page y'all made - too the outcome is that no posts are shown on the domicile page.

Option 2 - work the Posts too Comments setting

Choose the Settings > Posts too Comments panel from the left sidebar.

Enter zip (0) into the Show at most field

Click Save Settings in the move past times correct mitt corner of the screen.

About this method

The method inwards Option 2 works:   no posts are shown on your domicile page.

But past times default, nothting else is shown, either.    Unless y'all receive got steps to avoid it, your readers volition come across a grayness box proverb "0 Posts" when they await at your blog's primary URL.   

Some of the things y'all tin ship away produce to avoid this include hiding the "showing posts amongst label XXX" message, too creating a gadget that exclusively shows on the "home" page.

Recommended option

The custom re-direct choice is likely the best approach - too is sure as shooting what I've used for my blogs recently:   it's clean, too doesn't need whatsoever particular messing unopen to amongst gadgets etc to set content onto the "home" page.

But in that place may hold upwards cases where the mo choice is amend - too I receive got latterly confirmed that it withal works.

Whichever choice y'all choose

Remember that y'all need to ready another agency to allow readers motility from your home-page to come across your other posts - some of the ways to produce this are discussed here.
