Blogger Pages lets you publish static information on stand-alone pages linked from your blog. For example, you can use Pages to create an About This Blog page that discusses the evolution of your blog, or a Contact Me page that provides directions, a phone number, and a map to your location.
To create a page, click on the drop-down menu next to the gray Post List icon, and scroll down to Pages. You can create up to 20 pages.
In the Pages gadget, you can decide which pages will have links, and in what order they will appear. You can also choose whether or not you want links automatically created for pages when you create them by checking or unchecking the box to the left of Add New Pages by Default.

Along with several other Google products, Blogger’s taken on a whole new look: A clean, sleek interface designed for a streamlined blogging experience. Not only does the new interface load faster, but we’ve also added shortcuts to your most important blogging actions. Check out our quick list of what’s changed below.

Dashboard

Your Dashboard, as always, is your starting point. This is where all your blogs are listed, and you can click on the icons next to them to perform various actions on each blog, such as:

If you'd like your post to automatically publish at a specific date and time, you can schedule your posts on the Post Editor. Under "Post Settings" on the right-hand side, just click on Schedule.
If you select Set date and time, you can choose a date and time on a calendar for your post to be automatically published.

All your posts are available for editing on the Posts tab, which you can access from the drop-down menu on your Dashboard.

You can edit your posts by clicking on "Posts" from the drop-down menu on your Dashboard.

After the Jump is a feature which lets you create expandable post summaries in your blog posts, so longer posts appear as an intro with a link to Read More.
Creating jump breaks in your blog posts can be easily done right from the Post Editor, without the need for any HTML changes. First, decide where in the post you want to create the jump break, and place your cursor in that position:


Once your mouse cursor is placed at the jump point, simply click the Insert Jump Break toolbar icon:

Just as an exercise in seeing the evolution of the United States presidency, word-wise, here are two word clouds I created of the ‘State of the Union Address.’
One is by U.S. President Bush on January 29, 2002. The other is President Obama on January 25, 2011. Click on the thumbnail to see the full cloud.
