How To Create A Sticky Post On Blogger

In blogging, "Sticky Post" refers to a post that remains at the top of the author's page indefinitely, often to announce important information to the reader, such as a contest or upcoming event. Creating a "Sticky Post" on Blogger is quick and simple, and you don't have to be computer savvy to do it.

1. Connect to your Blogger account and click "Layout" in the "Dashboard."


2. Select "Add a Page Element" and choose the function you want to use as your "Sticky Post." For example, if you would like to announce an ongoing contest, you can choose "Text" and enter the details. "Text" allows you to add and edit HTML. By selecting "HTML/JavaScript," you also can choose to link to a previously written, archived post that gives the written details of the contest.


3. Complete the "Add a Page Element" template, click and drag the item to the "Blog Posts" section.
4. Click "Preview" to make sure the sticky post appears at the top of the page. Then click "Save."

You can create more than one "Sticky Post."

Using a "Sticky Post" is an effective way to drive traffic to additional sites you may have, such as another blog or online retail shop.

"Sticky Posts" have no expiration date. To remove a "Sticky Post," simply click "Remove Page Element."
