Now click on the new page option right in front of you and edit it by giving it a name and also add body text to it.





Let say you want to make an "about" page, give it a title "about" and then in the body text place information about yourself and your expertise or the services you are providing depending upon what kind of a blog you run, after completing enter "publish".



Then you will be taken back to "pages" once again where you will see your published page. You have to copy the url of that page by right clicking on "view" option and select "copy link address"

In order to do this go to "settings" and then click on the "search preferences" after that click on the "custom redirects" under "errors and redirections"  and then click on edit.





In the from box you have to put forward slash"/" and in to box you have to place the url address you copied earlier of your about page and only put the later part of that address. Like if the address is like this "http://biginut.blogspot.com/p/about.html" you need to erase the first part and only put that part that starts after com, like this "/p/about.html"
