INTRODUCTION



One of the most confusing things when newbies create a blog on blogger is being presented with the features on blogger. This is because some tools somewhat look alike and conflicting.


Take for instance, the PAGES and the POST features. As a newbie, when I first created my blog, I was so confused about these two features because in my opinion, I felt they were just the same.


And I obviously wondered why there would have to be two features doing basically the same thing. However, Little did I know how wrong and mistaken I was.



ARE THE POST AND PAGES TOOLS ON BLOGGER THE SAME?



The Post And Pages Tools are absolutely two different things and are in no way related or do the same thing.


Even though they appear to look or sound alike, they perform different functions.



WHAT DOES THE "POST" TOOL ON BLOGGER DO?


Posts on the blogger Platform is the tool that lets you create and regularly update your blog contents.


Usually consisting of Blog contents, Titles and Subtitles of contents, Dates of publication, Name of Author, Comments.


  • Blog Contents: This is your published articles Usually found on your blog. By default, it is located on the blog's homepage.


  • Titles : Blog title reveals to readers what the particular article they are about to open is about. A good Title Attracts many Visitors to click on the post.


  • Dates of Publication: Blogger shows the date of publication of all its contents unlike WordPress where there are plugins that lets you hide the date of publication of your blog contents.


  • Author's Name: Majority of BLOGGER'S theme displays author's and Co-authors names on the post. The names are set on the Blogger Settings Panel.


After this, the names are automatically updated into any post created on the blog.


  • Comments: Blogger themes have comment sections. This section allows for your readers to reply or respond to your blog posts.


Comments sections can also either be hidden to prevent readers from leaving a comment or left open for them to drop Comments. This can be updated in the settings panel of blogger.



WHAT IS PAGES ON BLOGGER AND WHAT DOES IT DO?


The Pages found on blogger are stand alone pages that are usually Static and hardly updated. They are one time written pages that are nearly never changed.


This usually consists of the About Us, Contact Us, Disclaimer, Privacy Policy ,Terms And Conditions and Sitemaps .


  • ABOUT US: This page tells your visitors or readers what your page is about. Everything your blog covers and what you intend to achieve with your blog is explained here.


  • Contact Us: Just as the name suggests, this is where you input the contact details through which anyone who visits your blog can connect with you. E.g WhatsApp Number,Email And any other reachable means.


  • Disclaimer: According to Wikipedia , disclaimer is generally any statement intended to specify or delimit the scope of rights and obligations that may be exercised and enforced by parties in a legally recognised Relationship


In other words, it is a statement that simply denies knowledge of something or that they are not responsible for any inaccuracies that may occur between two parties involved.



  • Privacy policy: Is a statement or Legal document that discloses some or all of the ways a party gathers, uses, discloses and manages a customer or client's data. Wikipedia


Simply put, it is a document that explains in detail how a company or organisation treats a client, customer and employees information gathered in or during its operations.


  • Terms Of Service Clearly Stated by Wikipedia as the legal agreements between the service provider and a person who wants to Use that service . The person is expected to abide by the terms and conditions of the provider in order to use that service .


Regarding the website, Terms of service expect the reader or visitor to agree to the terms and conditions of the website owner .
