To Show Labels or Not?!

Labels or categories can be used on each post to allow them to be grouped together. Labels are handy if you blog about a lot of different subjects, since readers can then choose to view all of your posts on, say, gardening at once. When you publish your post, the label(s) may be listed with it. Clicking any of the labels will take you to a page containing only posts with that label.

Use the Label Gadget and edit the settings to determine how many labels to appear in the gadget, although you can use more labels than actually appear. We recommend you use a maximum of 10 in the gadget.

A few other tips:
  • Be consistent with the names of your labels. Use the Show all button if needed on each post.
  • Authors of team blogs should agree on a pre-determined set of labels to use.

Note: The following characters cannot be used in labels: & < > @ ! ,
