How to Change Your Blogger Homepage


Yesterday, I decided to change my homepage to show a list of the articles that I have posted by different categories. I thought I will share with you on the process of redirecting your default Blogger page to a new page.

While you are logged into Blogger, go to Pages and select New page > Blank page.

Selecting to create a blank page in The Pages section of Blogger
Add a new Blank page from the Pages section of Blogger
This blank page will be your new homepage. Design and write up the page according to what you plan for your homepage. Once you have complete that, go ahead and publish it.

Browse to the new page and locate the URL in the address bar of your browser. Copy (Ctrl-C) the portion of the URL that comes after .blogspot.com (including the forward slash), up till the .html

Selecting and copying a section of the homepages URL
Copying out a section of the URL of the new home page


Go to Settings > Search Preferences, and click on Edit under Custom redirects

In the From section, type /.

In the To section, paste the portion you have copied earlier.

Click Save followed by Save changes.

The Settings > Search preference page in Blogger
Editing the Custom Redirects in Settings > Search preferences of Blogger
Now, whenever you click on Home on your Blogger blog, the default page will not be the latest post but the new page that you have created.
