JUST a suggestion / solution, ( no pressure on anyone) if someone is able to help, even though more than likely in another city, what about installing team Viewer, and using the Audio chat option. That way if someone is willing to teach they can connect, give instructions verbally and then the task be done and replicated, and any alterations to the action can be corrected "live" Often when giving instructions whats easy for the person giving hem is hard for the person learning. Done this myself and it works quite well. :2cents: Good idea, I hadn't thought of that :thumbs:	Webdevguy (17166)

(http:) PJ - you should be able to get a menu link (give it a title, e.g. page 2) by using the pages feature. Then write/copy your text on that page. I have just tried it and works. It creates a link across the top. Try it. I just did for the first time. No scripts required. It's the easiest way. HTML/Javascript gadgets could also be used. Using Pages Feature: On the Dashboard home page - click on drop down arrow - next to page icon, which is next to the orange edit pen. Next to your Blog Title. Scroll down to layout. Click on it, You are now in layout mode. Click on Pages on left hand side. Then click on new page tab. This opens a page. Click on page title above to enter your title. Then in the large box below write/copy what you want. Click preview or publish. See if it suits. If not delete the page title by ticking the little box. Please let me know how you get on by trying it. As noted, can't easily add/embed word doc's in blogger. Though you could create a link - but need to host the doc. Or convert/upload to Google docs and link to it. Another way is to use another platform, e.g. like slide share (www.slideshare.net/) - copy your docs to that then embed the code to display your text in blogger. You also get more exposure. I assume then you don't want to really create or publish posts within blogger but rather display your articles somehow (seems pre-written in MS word) directly?	kahawai chaser (3545)

Using the Pages I have put a second page up but there is no link on the home page. Have I missed a step? PJ	Poppa John (284)
1385074	2014-10-05 07:51:00	You are on the right track. But because you have a custom template, and I think a large header space, pages won't display by default it seems. But we now need to take the next step - the gadget approach. Go to layout mode to display the various boxes for your template. Click add a gadget - at the top. The long horizontal one. This will open another box with the various gadgets. Google+ Button, Google+ Followers, etc. Scroll down a bit to Pages gadget (red page picture). Click the plus sign to open up another box. Then tick the little box next to your page title, and also click the home page box. You can further customize if you want by re-ordering the links/tabs. Click save. This will close the box. Then click save arrangement. This should publish your blog. Then visit or preview your blog. This hopefully will display their links at the very top of your blog if not reordered. If not displayed then the html template has to be edited at the pages gadget section. Bit tricky that one, been long time since I have hacked a blogger template, but I think tutorials about.	kahawai chaser (3545)

Let me know if you have to resort to doing it via the HTML editor, I can help :)	Webdevguy (17166)

To recap...I have got page 1 introduction on screen. Page 2 is a book synopsis & is in there somewhere. I am trying to put a p2 link on p1. Or a basic menu.. So here goes. Thanks Guys.

PJ PJ, if you copy the url for page two and paste it in place of the # you will create a link to page 2 <p><a href="#">Book Synopsis</a></p> it should look something like this when you have finished <p><a href="pressf1.pcworld.co.nz Synopsis</a></p> You can do that in the html editor section. Just use your url instead of the PC World url.	Webdevguy (17166)
