Blogger Magic - Make A Selected Posts Main Page

Some blog owners want to publish posts, and have a dynamic main page - but want to restrict specific posts to a tabbed page.

Having created a tabbed page with specific posts, the next question would be
But how do I keep those posts off my main page?
And long ago, there was no good answer for this question.

Then, Blogger gave us the Custom Redirects feature.

Similar to a blog with a static main page, you can publish a blog and make the main page display a select group of posts.

  1. Publish some posts to the "Blog" label.
  2. Publish some posts to the "Home" label.
  3. Redirect the main page to the "Home" label search.

Just identify which posts you want, on each page.

Publish posts to the "Blog" label.

This is simply the process of setting up a blog, within your blog.

Publish posts to the "Home" label.

Make the "Blog" and "Home" pages complement each other. Identify which posts you want visible, on the main page, using the "Home" label.

Redirect the main page to the "Home" label search.

Add a custom redirect, that references the "Home" label search.
From: /
To: /search/label/Home

Publish content.

And finally, publish more posts, to "Blog" and to "Home". That's why you build pages, using label searches.
