How to Add or Remove Labels in Blogger Blog

Labels in Blogger help organize your blog posts into categories, making it easier for readers to find related content. They also play a role in your blog’s SEO by grouping similar posts together. Here’s how to add or remove labels in your Blogger blog:

Adding Labels to Blog Posts

1. Sign in to Blogger:
   • Go to Blogger and log in with your Google account.
   • Select the blog where you want to add labels.
2. Create or Edit a Post:
   • Go to Posts in your Blogger dashboard.
   • Click on New Post to create a new post or select an existing post to edit.
3. Add Labels:
   • In the post editor, look for the Labels section on the right side of the screen.
   • Enter the labels you want to assign to the post. Separate multiple labels with commas.
   • For example, if you want to add labels like “Travel”, “Tips”, and “Destinations”, you would type them in as: Travel, Tips, Destinations.
   • Click Apply to add the labels to the post.
4. Publish or Update the Post:
   • Once you’ve added the labels, click Publish for a new post or Update for an existing post to save the changes.

Removing Labels from Blog Posts

1. Sign in to Blogger:
   • Go to Blogger and log in with your Google account.
   • Select the blog where you want to remove labels.
2. Edit a Post:
   • Go to Posts in your Blogger dashboard.
   • Select the post from which you want to remove labels.
3. Remove Labels:
   • In the post editor, find the Labels section on the right side of the screen.
   • Delete the labels you want to remove from the post.
   • Click Apply to update the labels.
4. Publish or Update the Post:

Managing Labels in Your Blog

1. View All Labels:
   • Go to Posts > Labels to see all the labels used in your blog. This page shows a list of all labels and the number of posts associated with each label.
2. Edit Labels:
   • To edit labels, you must modify individual posts as described above. Blogger does not provide a built-in feature to globally edit or rename labels directly.
3. Delete Labels:
   • Deleting labels directly from the Labels page is not possible. Labels will be automatically removed if no posts are assigned to them. To effectively “delete” a label, you need to remove it from all posts that use it.

Adding a Label Widget to Your Blog

1. Go to Layout:
   • In your Blogger dashboard, click on Layout.
2. Add a Gadget:
   • Click Add a Gadget in the section where you want to display labels (typically the sidebar).
3. Select Labels Gadget:
   • In the gadget selection window, find and select the Labels gadget.
4. Configure the Gadget:
   • Title: Enter a title for the widget, such as “Categories” or “Blog Labels.”
   • Show: Choose whether to show labels in a list or as a cloud.
   • Number of Labels: Set the number of labels you want to display.
5. Save Your Settings:
   • Click Save to add the Labels widget to your layout.
6. Save Layout:
   • Click Save arrangement to apply the changes to your blog’s layout.
