Use the procedure on this page when you are "brand new" to editing.
You can try the steps shown on Page 3 when you are more familiar with navigating between "pages" and "posts". If you find my notes too confusing, then use the Blogger Help pages.
Preparation
Edit Procedure II - With Images:
A. Login To Blog
Preparation
- Watch Blogger's 3-minute video "How to Create a Blog on Blogger" (made by Blogger 3/2011), which "overviews" the steps that I have already done.
- You actually only need to worry about the "Publishing" step which shows at about the 1min:20sec point in the video (step 11 below) since I have already done the steps to "set it up".
- (1) Log in at Blogger.com (or at the web page, upper right corner).
- (5) When the "Dashboard" appears, click "view blog"
- (6) Navigate to the page you want to edit.
(7) Click the "pencil" at bottom of page, to get into edit mode.- (10) Type in your changes.
- (11) Click the orange "Publish Page" button at the bottom left corner.
- (13) Click "view page", to view the updated page.
