How to Open the Portal from a Static Page instead of the Blog Format - other than Home

Create one Static Page however do not call it Home yet and add some content.

Pages > New Page
Save > Publish your new page
Settings >Search Preferences > Custom Redirect > Edit
From: box forward slash > / 
To: box page name - in our case it was > /p/portal.html
Checked Permanent
Save > Save Changes

All Blogger static pages have a /p in front of the URL.  You can see that the html name was the page title we used, so if you used something else for your title like 'Main Page' then the html would be /p/main-page.html.

How to remove the TITLES in Pages

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'>
