Page Elements Screen

This post was written before several of the new categories, such as the Blog List, Slideshow, or Video or Poll, so that the screenshot below will not quite match what you would currently see. Sorry, someday I'll catch up.

Some people still complain they can't see this item. Sometimes it helps to use Refresh (F5 or Ctrl-F5) or to clear your cache and cookies (in Internet Options-Tools). At times, you might even have to do it twice.

Here is a partial screen shot of the Page Elements list. Others listed below my screen shot are "Logo, Profile, Blog Archive, and Page Header". It is easy to select one and add it.

Click on page-element in the Label box below for other posts on this topic.

Clickable "Button" Link To A Web Site

Making a clickable "Button" (or picture link) that links to a web site:

Below is an example:



<a href="http://rodentia.blogspot.com/"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhylbPyNJjeWacU1C5yurXFBZEB7LUkPCKcLVPhTPRBeiWG05i4VEnja9f92g04NtowKckh_zPHzL1hmsltQHZZ_CvMjvNuSHuEMIufNaS7L81J1oPT77IHO30YW-NySpbyZGSEDkw35KQ/
s400/RatsHaveRights.jpg"></a>

The "<a href=" part is the link and the "<img src=" is the photo-image-button readers will click on.

Below is the general format:

<a href="yourLink.com"><img src="yourImage.jpg"></a>

Create A New Post?

I need to create a new post, but how?

METHOD 1:
In your Navbar, click on New Post.

OR

METHOD 2:
On your Dashboard, click New Post under the relevant blog.

OR

METHOD 3:
1. When logged in to your blog, click on Customize in the Navbar.
2. Then click on Posting
3. and then click on Edit Posts

OR

METHOD 4:
If those icons aren't showing, check to see if the pencil icon under each post is
visible? If so,

1. Click on the pencil
2. you should be able to see Create and Edit Posts up above
3. Click on Create.

BUT

If these icons aren't showing and you've done all that you can about Refreshing (Ctrl-F5), clearing the cache and cookies, trying another browser, and so forth (see my EMERGENCY STEPS at the top of this blog), you may only be able to get help from a direct appeal to Blogger Support. Though that process is often slow, they're at:

OR

BLOGGER PROBLEM REPORT FORM

[Be sure you're logged in to your blog, of course, when you try any of the methods above.]
