I recently wrote a post titled How to Create Static Pages in Blogger where I discussed one method of using posts to mimic static pages. One question that was asked involved removing the static pages from the post archives in Blogger. From what I have seen, you can’t prevent a post from being added to the archives, which would make all static posts appear.

Using my programming background, I decided to find a way to prevent the static pages from appearing in the archives. When experimenting with different methods, I finally came up with a method that works, as well as allows commenting on the static pages. This post explains how to create this type of static page.

With some coding, you can easily create static pages in Blogger. For many blog authors, WordPress is the management system of choice. It provides the most flexibility and options for managing blogs. For those that are not using WordPress, Blogger is a good, free option. Blogger, however, is not nearly as flexible to use as WordPress. There are fewer options and templates for that system. The one drawback of using Blogger is the inability of uploading, and using static HTML pages.

There is a simple workaround that you can use to create pages in your Blogger blog that will mimic static pages. I will discuss how to create and use those pages in this post.
