How to hide default HOME page in blogger


Blogger default home page will show your recent posts in a continuous order; i.e all your posts in a single page. So, this usually annoy you as well as the user ! In fact we love to see one post per page rather than all posts in the same page. Here i'm giving you the procedure on how to hide the default blogger homepage, which might let you create your own home page (contains all your sites URL like the one shown in this link).

Step - 1

Log on to your blogger account and click the 'Pages' tab provided in the left of the blogger site as shown below. Note that you will see two home pages in the below picture. I had created another page named "HOME" in my blog (just like the one shown in the above link), because I wished to include all my blogs URL in that page, so as to act as a sitemap for the users; allowing them easily find posts under appropriate categories. You may also try doing this.

Step - 2

Click the 'View blog' bar provided at the top as shown in the above picture. You will be taken to your blog page. There; notice your blogs tab and find the small icon indicating setting for that  tab just like the own shown in the below two pictures. Click that setting icon.



Step - 3

After doing the above step, you will notice a prompt menu as shown below. In that, you should find all your blogs page list under 'Pages to show' (with check box checked).


Step - 4

Now, the trick is un-check the box of your blog Home page and click save. (If you want to hide any other pages in your blog tab, you may un-check that box; like I did below)


Step - 5

After saving the changes, refresh the page - only to notice your blogs default Home page vanish. Return to the blogspot account and refresh the page. You should see the list of pages that has been hidden under separate heading 'Hidden' like the one shown in the below picture.


Done. You will not see the default home page again, but anyway I suggest you to create your own home page with all your site links included for better sitemap.
