Ever felt like the default Blogger labels just don't match your blog's vibe? π I’ve been there too. When I first started customizing my Blogger layout, the Labels widget was one of the trickiest things to style. It looked too plain, and I wanted something more colorful, modern, and me. π¨
After lots of trial-and-error (and a few broken layouts π¬), I finally figured out how to edit and style those labels using simple CSS—and now I’m sharing everything I learned in this step-by-step guide. Whether you're a beginner or just want to give your blog a quick refresh, this one's for you!
✏️ How to Edit Blogger Post Labels (Manually in Each Post)
- Go to Blogger Dashboard
- Select your blog and click “Posts”
- Click Edit on the post you want to modify
- On the right-hand panel, find “Labels”
- Enter new labels or edit existing ones
- Separate multiple labels with commas
- Capitalization matters (e.g., Travel ≠ travel)
- Click “Update” or “Publish”
π¨ How to Style Blogger Labels (Sidebar, Footer, or Post)
To style how labels look (font, background color, size, etc.), you’ll need to edit your blog's CSS.
✅ Option A: Style Labels in the Sidebar (Label Widget)
- Go to Blogger > Layout
- Find the Label widget (usually in sidebar)
- Click Edit to choose:
- List or Cloud
- Sort by frequency or alphabetically
- Which labels to show
- Click Save
π§ Style it with CSS:
Go to Theme > Customize > Advanced > Add CSS (or Theme > Edit HTML) and paste:
/* Style sidebar label links */
.Label a {
background-color: #f0f0f0;
color: #333;
padding: 6px 10px;
border-radius: 15px;
margin: 3px;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 14px;
text-decoration: none;}
.Label a:hover {
background-color: #ffc107;
color: #fff;}
✅ Option B: Style Labels Under Blog Posts
If your labels appear under each post, use this CSS:
/* Style labels under blog posts */
.post-labels a {
background-color: #e0f7fa;
color: #00796b;
padding: 4px 8px;
margin-right: 5px;
border-radius: 12px;
font-size: 13px;
text-decoration: none;}
.post-labels a:hover {
background-color: #00796b;
color: #fff;}
You can adjust:
- background-color and color
- padding and font-size
- border-radius for rounded shapes (pill style)
✨ Bonus Tip: Hide Specific Labels
To hide certain labels from the Label widget:
- Go to Layout > Edit Label Gadget
- Uncheck unwanted labels
- Or hide them via CSS:
a[href*='LabelName'] {Replace 'LabelName' with the actual label text (case-sensitive, spaces become + in URL).
display: none !important;}
