Don't worry in this article I am going to tell you all about views and page types in blogger blog. There are different page types in blogger that can be e classified into different categories.
In WordPress, you have multiple plugins to do so but in blogger, you don't have any solution for this other than determining the page types.
Page types in blogger are inside the data object and you can find the page type by data:blog.pageType, it will return the page type of blogger blog and data:view.type will return the view type of blogger blog,
Below is the list of page types that are used in blogger and the return value of data:blog.pageType & data:view.type.
Page types in blogger:
| Command | Description |

| data:view.isHomepage | Specifies the homepage of blogger blog. |
| data:view.isPost | Specifies the posts or articles pages, posts that you publish. |
