Adding a Page to Your Blog Theme

This procedure is for a custom blog theme with HTML files that you can edit. First, make sure that you can open the Blog Theme Editor for your theme. The Standard theme color settings are not an HTML file editor.

Work on a copy. Save a backup before you change a theme that is in use. Changes to an active theme can change the public blog immediately.

Add an HTML page

1. In your own theme, open Theme files and select Create.
2. Create an HTML file, for example, my-custom-file.html. A CSS file contains style rules. It is not an additional content page.
3. Enter the HTML content and select Save file.

Examine the page and navigation

The path for the example file is /pages/my-custom-file. The file name in the editor has the .html extension. The URL example below does not:

https://my-podcast.podigee.io/pages/my-custom-file

Replace the example domain with your blog domain. The blog must use the theme that contains the saved file. Open the URL and examine the content and page display. If the page does not appear, examine the selected theme and file name or contact support.

If your theme has a navigation.html file with a navigation list, you can put this entry in that list:

<li>
  <a href="/pages/my-custom-file">My Extra Content</a>
</li>

Other themes can have a different navigation structure. Save the change and examine the link in the blog. A saved HTML file does not automatically add a navigation link in all themes.
