How To Add Tabs Under Your Header Tutorial

Attention Class....let's get settled in our seats....:-)

This is a step by step tutorial, with pictures, on how to add tabs under your header.  First you will read the step, then you will see a picture of that step.

Class is now in session.


Go to Dashboard

Click on Design (on the blog you want to add the tabs)

Your design or layout page will come up.  Click on the "Add A Gadget" button that is under your header (not the one on your sidebar)

A new screen will pop up.  Click on the "plus" mark next to "Pages"

The Configure Page List will pop up.  The only "page" that will be shown at this point is "home".

Click on "Save" at the bottom of that screen and the screen will close.  Your design or layout screen will be there.

Click on "Posting" at the top left of your layout screen.

Click on "Edit Pages" (not edit post).

Now click on "New Page".

You are now setting up a page.  For example, I titled this page "Tutorial".

At this point it is just like creating a blog post.  You add the copy and the photos you want and then click on "Publish Page" on the bottom left of the screen.

You will get a screen like the one below that says your page was published successfully.  You can now view or edit your page, just like you can a blog post.  When you are satisfied with your page, click "View Blog" and you will now see your new tab you created.  If you want to add more tabs....simply click on Edit Pages again and you can add another tab.

If you want to rearrange your tabs - by putting them in a different order, go back to your layout page and click on Edit on the pages gadget under your header.  See pic below.

When the new screen comes up, your tabs will be there.  You can drag and drop the page titles to move them in the order you want them.

Class is dismissed....:-)

disclaimer - I am not an expert on blogging or design.  These are just the steps I used to create my tabs.
