Adding Labels to a Blogger Post

Step 1. To add your labels, click on the post you want to edit and type the labels in the Labels field which is located on the right side of your post editor.

Keep the label short and pick the one that best describes your content. We would also recommend you to use lowercase letters and avoid weird symbols as it will generate a link that should be kept as simple as possible. If you want to use multiple labels, make sure that you separate them by commas:

Step 2. To apply the labels, click on the Update or Publish (if your post is new) button on the top right side.

Note: For large blogs with lots of content, you can edit multiple posts from the same category without having to open each one of them. Just select the posts you want to add label to and click on the tag icon:

On the box that opens, fill in the label(s) using the “Add a label” field (or select them from the list of available labels), then click “Apply”.

Important: When adding a specific label, make sure that your selected post doesn’t already have it as this action will remove the existent label.

Step 1. From your Blogger dashboard, go to Layout > click Edit on the “Blog Posts” gadget.

Step 2. Once the pop-up window opens, scroll down and see if the Show author option is checked. If it is not, simply click on the small box on the right.

Step 3. Click the “SAVE” text at the end of this window to apply the changes.

The Author Bio Box Still Doesn’t Show

If the author profile still doesn’t appear after enabling the option above, then you will need to check some other Blogger settings to see if your profile doesn’t lack certain information as we will need that for our bio box.

Step 1. From the Blogger menu, click Settings and scroll down to the end of the page > click User Profile under the “General” section.

Step 2. On the next page, you need to have the “Share my profile” option selected (if it is not, simply click the small box on the right).

Step 3. You will also need to have an image uploaded for your bio box > click on the Browse… button under the “Profile Photo” section:

Step 4. Next, scroll down to the “Additional Information” section and use the “Introduction” box to write something about the author, or the blog. This text will appear in the author bio box along with the Profile Photo.

Step 5. Finally, apply the settings by clicking the “Save Profile” button at the end of the page.

Now, visit one of your blog articles to see if the Author profile or bio box appears in the footer of your post.

1. Posts on the blog/archive pages
2. Individual post pages
3. Comments

The format of the date in all these three places is based on your blog’s date format setting. To change the date format setting for both archive pages and single post pages:

1. Go to Settings and scroll down to locate the Formatting section.

2. The Date header format applies to the individual post pages (2) and the Timestamp format applies only to posts on the blog/archive pages (1). Click on any of these options to pick the desired format and hit “Save”.

Note: to change the date format for the Comments, click on the “Comment timestamp format” from the same “Formatting” section.

Step 1. Login to your Blogger dashboard and go to Layout > click Edit on the Blog Posts gadget.

Step 2. Scroll down the “Configure Blog Posts” window and look for the Show share buttons option.

Step 3. Check or uncheck the option to either show or hide it on the blog posts.

Step 4. To apply the changes, click on the “SAVE” text at the end of this window.

Important: Your blog must be public to use share buttons. Also, make sure that your Site Feed is set to Full, otherwise this setting will not work.

Step 1. The first thing you need to do is login to your Blogger dashboard and go to Settings > scroll down to the Posts section.

Step 2. Click on the Max posts shown on main page text.

Step 3. Change the value of “Max posts shown on main page” to any number of posts you want to display.

Don’t forget to click on the “SAVE” button to apply your settings.

Now your Blogger blog and archive pages should show the number of posts that you want to display. Note: if the above setting didn’t work, check our article on Blogger is not Showing Correct Number of Posts per Page.
