Here is a tutorial for creating an entry or welcome “page” for your blog. I think it can also be called a splash page or a landing page, hmm….whatever.
It is different from the usual welcome message found in most Blogger blogs whereby the message is placed on top of the blog post column, and stays up there the entire time.
This welcome page acts like an entry page -it only appears at the beginning of a visit and disappears the visitor “enters” the blog. Sort of like an alert box, but looks nicer and comes without the annoying sound.
The page comes with these features:
- Lightbox type message window.
- This entry page is fully widgetized, so it can be removed by simply removing the two gadgets, no need to deal with your template HTML.
- Visitor need to click ENTER button to continue viewing your blog. This in a way, will make sure your visitor to read your important welcome message before entering your blog.
- Only external visitors will go through the welcome page. Readers coming from any one of your blog pages will bypass this page.
