How To Setup A Custom Homepage For A Blogger

Query:
There is no definite homepage for a Blogger. Is there any way to set up a custom homepage?

Response:

Earlier you learnt about how to create your own website. Now if you want to setup a custom homepage for your Blogger, well, there is a way too, but sometimes it creates a problem too. Make sure it is not so in your case, although you can use it then also.

Here are the simple steps to accomplish it:-

1. Choose any page or post that you want to setup as your blog's homepage, let it be, http://myblog.blogspot.com/p/index.html

2. Now on your blog's dashboard click
Pages -> New Page -> Web Address.
Give a title say, HOMEPAGE and fill-up the web address as http://myblog.blogspot.com/p/index.html

3. Now select
Layout -> Pages (Edit) -> Add or select the pages that you want to show in your blog and rearrange them accordingly and uncheck the main Home page.

Up to this you have created your HOMEPAGE and directed it to http://myblog.blogspot.com/p/index.html
So, now, whenever a visitor will click on the HOMEPAGE it will be directed to your custom Homepage.


Now you have to redirect any visitor who is visiting http://myblog.blogspot.com to http://myblog.blogspot.com/p/index.html

For this do the following steps:-

Goto Settings -> Search Preferences ->  Custom Redirects (Edit).

There on the From tab just add
/ 
and, on the To tab add 
/p/index.html
If you want to make it permanent then do it and save it and then click Save Changes.

Thus you have accomplished what you have wished for.

But remember about that specific problem? 

This is it: While doing this redirection, in some cases, people visiting your website from mobile will not be able to visit your site. They will be constantly shown a message saying The document has been moved here or so, and they will fail to open your site on mobile.
Happy Blogging!
