You tin dismiss laid your spider web log upwards hence that no posts are shown on the primary covert - provided yous take maintain used some of the other "home page" approaches to hand readers other ways of getting to your content.


Previously I've explained how to only present 1 post on the primary page of your blog.

But some people who desire to give their spider web log a habitation page go farther than that, in addition to don't present whatever 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 create - later all, blogs are virtually posts.

But genuinely it's fine, provided yous purpose another tools to allow readers movement roughly the blog.  I've made a 150+ page spider web log this way, in addition to it plant really nicely because I take maintain organised the data in addition to used some index-pages (containing lists of bus-routes, suburbs, maps etc) alongside tables that link to many other posts.


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

Some people desire to create this, equally business office of the procedure of giving their spider web log a habitation page.  It's non possible if your spider web log has a Dynamic thene, but tin dismiss hold upwards done for blogs alongside Layout themes.

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

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

Make a novel Page (Pages > New Page) in addition to add together the cloth which yous desire to present on your primary screen.    Publish this page.

Take a note of the URL of the Page that yous purpose created.

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

Click Edit in addition to hence New re-direct

In the dialog box which opens:

  • Enter a back-slash (ie   /  )into the kickoff (From) box.
  • Enter the URL of the page that yous noted before into the 2nd (To) box
  • In the To box, withdraw the blog-address, because Blogger already adds that for you.
    Eg if your URL is     http:/www.myBlog.com/p/home.html
    in addition to hence only larn inwards           /p/home.html

    (note that yous drib dead along the backslash (/) only before the P.
Click the Permanent checkbox.

Click Save just nether the entry yous only made - it right away looks similar this:



Click Save changes.


Job Done!   Anyone who goes to your blog's habitation page volition right away become automatically to the alternative page yous made - in addition to the trial is that no posts are shown on the habitation page.



Option 2 - purpose the Posts in addition to Comments setting

Choose the Settings > Posts in addition to Comments panel from the left sidebar.

Enter naught (0) into the Show at most field
Click Save Settings in the exceed correct paw corner of the screen.


    About this method

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

    But past times default, nothting else is shown, either.    Unless yous accept steps to avoid it, your readers volition run across a greyness box proverb "0 Posts" when they hold off at your blog's primary URL.   



    Some of the things yous tin dismiss create to avoid this include hiding the "showing posts alongside label XXX" message, in addition to creating a gadget that alone shows on the "home" page.


    Recommended option

    The custom re-direct selection is likely the best approach - in addition to is sure as shooting what I've used for my blogs recently:   it's clean, in addition to doesn't bespeak whatever exceptional messing roughly alongside gadgets etc to set content onto the "home" page.

    But in that place may hold upwards cases where the 2nd selection is ameliorate - in addition to I take maintain late confirmed that it all the same works.


    Whichever selection yous choose

    Remember that yous bespeak to develop another agency to allow readers movement from your home-page to run across your other posts - some of the ways to create this are discussed here.
