Storenvy: Linking your store to your blog with a page tab

A great way to get your blog followers to your Storenvy shop, social media, or any other page you may have, is to add page tabs to your blog. It's an easy way for followers to access your store. This tutorial will show you how to add page tabs to your blog. I've added page tabs for my Bean Sprout Boutique shop, my contact page, and FAQ.


STEP 1: Select Pages from your Blogger Dashboard

1. Sign in to your blogger account and select your blog.
2. In the left column, click on Pages




STEP 2: Select New Page










1. Selecting Blank Page will open a page that looks just like creating a post. Compose your page, add HTML, photos, etc.






















2. Selecting Web Address will open a dialog box. Page title is what will appear on the tab. Web address is the page you wish to link to.




STEP 3: Position tabs

1. Select the drop-down menu where it says Show pages as.
2. Select Top tabs, Side links, or Don't show
3. If you have created more than one tab, you can shuffle them in the order you wish them to appear. Click the gray bar and drag up and down.


STEP 4: Save your page

1. When you have finished creating your tabs and arranging them, make sure to click Save arrangement.


Your blog page should now be displaying the new tabs you've created. Click on each one to make sure they link to the assigned page without error. If you have any questions, please let me know: nakesha@beansproutboutique.com.

Welcome

Introductions...

Hello! My name is Nakesha, and I'm a crochetaholic. I'm also a graphic designer, wife, mommy of toddler twins, and a music lover. In my younger years, I played bass guitar in a band called murmur with my husband and some friends. I have an interest in health food and worked at a health food store throughout my college years. Most recently, I had a career as a graphic designer at a business newspaper.

I resigned from the daily grind of the corporate world to focus on raising my family, but I refused to entirely give up on something I'm passionate about, creating, no matter what form it takes. So I decided to turn a life-long hobby into a small business venture. I opened Bean Sprout Boutique, an online shop, selling handmade crocheted baby hats and photography props. I also continue to freelance in graphic design, when a need arises, and put my design skills to use in marketing my own business.

With this blog, I hope to share pieces of my daily life, design tips and tricks, crochet projects, and anything else I can think of. I look forward to meeting you all and sharing in this journey with you!
