A Battle with my Blogger pages

I am having a battle with my Blog pages.

 I had initially hoped that I would be able to create a 'Category' style pages index, and file blogs under each, as their own pages if necessary.

 I have now found the 'label' system, and included a gadget under my pages to try and indicate previous posts under appropriate category labels.

 Some pages ought to go into the new area, but that would mean recreating them as posts, rather than pages, and then deleting their current page status.

 Google+ / Blogger - why can't you make this an easier process for us?

    Actually, for a user it doesn't really matter whether it's a page or a post. What counts is the accessibility via a link (side list) or a tab at the top. It's really easy to repost a page: Go to your page edit and click on the html tab in the top left corner. You'll see the code that is behind the page. Copy all of that and then create a new post. Click on the html tab there and paste the code. Copy the header and tags, and publish your new post.
    If you want your post to be found individually, just use its URL as a link in a link list you can create in the layout page, for whatever purpose you desire. Or just leave the page in your blog as well.

      Irma; Thank you so much for taking the trouble to reply. Your explanation makes so much more sense than anything else I have been offered today.

    I'm quite sure you can solve your problem here, if you just start out with posts, rather than pages.

The first of my author interviews - Megan Denby - 'A thistle in the mist'.

Image
This series of interviews is a little different to others, as each question was posed to my ‘victims’ on an individual basis, and in many respects, based on previous responses. This provides a very spontaneous, open, honest, and - I hope, interesting insight as to what it takes to become a writer in today’s world of publishing. I have been very deliberate in my choice of ‘first author interview’ to be published. My choice was actually very easy, as the hugely talented Canadian, Megan Denby, author of the wonderful inaugural novel ‘A thistle in the mist’, came to my attention immediately, when, as a ‘newbie’ I engaged within assorted ‘discussion groups’ for writers, looking for inspiration and answers. Megan and I were asking the same questions, in our own, unique ways, at almost identical times. Megan answered some of my questions, and I hope I answered some of Megan’s as helpfully. Megan continues to be one of my staunchest supporters and assists me tr

The second of my current Author interviews - Mr Chaunce Stanton - a day early, owing to family pressures!

This series of interviews is a little different to others, as each question was posed to my ‘victims’ on an individual basis, and in many respects, based on previous responses. This provides a very spontaneous, open, honest, and - I hope, interesting insight as to what it takes to become a writer in today’s world of publishing. This week’s guest author is a larger-than-life and funny guy, by the name of Chaunce Stanton , from St Paul, Minnesota, USA.                                      Chaunce has one novel already published – ‘Luano’s Luckiest Day’ , and his second novel ‘The Blank Slate Boarding House for Creatives’ will hit the shelves fairly soon.                                                   Chaunce was my second ‘obvious’ pick of authors to interview, as, along with Megan Denby, he was another of the new breed of authors who was posting on the various discussion groups I explored as a newbie, and again, offered more than his fair share of help and adv
