Hide Post from Appearing on Homepage of Blogger

Hiding a post appearing on first page or better say homepage of Blogger is really a simple trick. It’s a trick which is all about posting a blog post to a certain date.

Sometimes it may so happen that you may do not want any blog post to be seen on the homepage and it’s not a static page on Blogger. So you need to hide it. To be true, you cannot hide any posts if you have published it but you can back-date it while publishing so that it does not appear on the homepage.

All you have to do is, while publishing a post, select a date that is prior to the date you are posting. Suppose you are writing a post on today’s date, say 16th November 2011, then while posting, click “Post Options” within the post editor and select “Scheduled at”. Now all you have to do is select a date that is prior to today’s date, say 16th March 2011, and then publish it.

You have to select a date that is much older to that post's date which will let you to hide your current post on your Blogger's homepage. This is the trick.
