How to Create Menu Tabs in Blogger

Blogger blogs don’t come with menu tabs as a standard template feature, but you can use the workaround solution of adding menu tabs to your blog’s home page with the Blogger Pages gadget or the Link List gadget. Use the Pages gadget to add menu tabs linking to static pages on your blog, such as the Privacy Policy, About page or Terms and Conditions page. Use the Link List gadget to add menu tabs linking to external websites or blogs, or your own blog posts.

Procedure On How To Add Menu Tabs With The Pages Gadget

Step 1. Log in to Blogger. Click the “Layout” menu link below the name of the blog to which you want to add menu tabs. This opens the Blogger Layout section’s Add and Arrange Page Elements page.

Step 2. Click “Add a Gadget” in the sidebar section of the page, if you want to add menu tabs to the blog’s sidebar, or at the top of the page if you want to add menu tabs below the header section.

Step 3. Go to the “Pages” gadget in the dialog window. Click the “+” icon beside the Pages gadget title to open the gadget configuration window.

Step 4. Click and select the check box next to each page that you want to include as a menu tab. Click the box next to “Add New Pages by Default” if you want Blogger to add all new pages as menu tabs in the Pages gadget. Click the “Save” button in the dialog box. Click “Save” at the top of the Add and Arrange Page Elements page. This displays menu tabs linked to your blog’s static pages on your blog’s home page.

Adding  Menu Tabs With the Link List Gadget

Step 3. Enter the first website’s name and URL address, or a blog post’s title and URL address into the relevant input boxes. Click the “Add Link” button. Repeat this step for each website or blog address that you want to include as a menu tab.

Step 4. Click the arrow button in the “Sorting” section. Select either “Sort Alphabetically” or “Sort Reverse Alphabetically” from the pull-down menu to configure the order in which the gadget displays your link menu tabs. Type the number of links that you want to display as menu tabs into the “Number of Links to Show” box. Click the “Save” button. Click “Save” on the Add and Arrange Page Elements page. This displays menu tabs linked to URLs on your blog’s home page.
