How to Create an Active Sub Page in Blogger
Recently, a blog reader asked me how to make an active sub-page in Blogger instead of the default static page. The example she gave was my Portfolio tab (above), which links to a page that acts like a blog or website rather than a static page.
I haven't figured out a way to do it within one blog, but here's my very simple workaround. My portfolio site is a separate Blogger blog, and my page tab in this blog links directly to the URL of that separate site.
How to Link a Page to Another Site to Create the Illusion of an Active Sub Page
(1) Create a separate Blogger blog that contains the information you want in your subpage. In my case, I have a separate blog that is my portfolio.
