You may have already created some of useful pages on your blog. I mean not the posts, but static pages such as About Me which are more peculiar to your blog. After creating pages, your next consideration would be letting readers to access them. Obviously you can add custom links by editing template to direct users to those pages in relevant places on your blog. How about making the navigation more convenient for your blog visitors. Wouldn't it be nice if you can show them as tabs or as a list easily without even touching your template?

Further you don't wanna direct users using custom links to your pages and readers will find it more useful to discover and navigate to pages on your blog. So it's actually act as a navigation for your blog. Blogger make use of Pages widget to list all of you pages either as a list or tabs, and display them on your blog with few simple steps. Does it care only about displaying your standalone pages and getting them all on your blog? Nope, it will let you customize the style and you can include your taste to prioritize and arrange them when display them on your blog too. So you can get rid of pages you don't wanna display and leave other useful pages to make use of. Let's learn how to display your pages and get them on your blog.
