Use ODB to make a static web site

OutdoorsBlogger isn’t just for blogging.  You can use it to make static websites for your trail club, charter service, guide outfit, or anything else outdoors for that matter.  When a visitor clicks on your channel (outdoorsblogger.com/yourchannelhere), your home page loads instead of the typical blog layout. Don’t worry, you can still have a blog on your channel too.

Why is OutdoorsBlogger great for web sites?

  1. It’s so easy to use.  Anybody who can use the internet can creat pages, write content, upload photos, create sub pages, change themes, and so much more - all without knowing how to write HTML code.
  2. It’s networked with other publishers of similar interests. Outdoors sports is all we do, so traffic from other areas of the site can’t get more targetted.
  3. Even if it doesn’t look like it, it is still based on blog software… and search engines love them.
  4. Best of all, it doesn’t cost you a penny.  Even if you maintain a separate web site, creating an OutdoorsBlogger space is a great way to drive focused traffic to you or your organization.

Steps to make your web space at OutdoorsBlogger

  1.  Sign up, if you haven’t already
  2. From the administration menu, create your home page by clicking “Write” and choosing “Page” from the sub menu.  Give your page a title, and click “Publish”, you can come back to edit the home page at any time.
  3. Then click “Options” and the sub menu “Reading.” The first option deals with what your front page shows, and change it to “Static Page,” and choose the home page to display first. You can choose another page to display your blog, if you so desire.
  4. That’s it. Use the editor to add content, photos, links, and anything else on your home page so that it’s just the way you like it.
