How to Categorize Posts Under a Subheader in Blogger

Google's Blogger service is an easy-to-use and free blog service to get your business blog up and running. While your blog's homepage doesn't have a subheader category list by default, you can make one yourself using labels. Labels are Blogger's versions of tags -- words or small phrases that describe the content of a post. By placing a the "Labels" gadget directly under your blog's header you effectively create a subheader to categorize posts. When readers click a category they're led to a list of blog posts that you've added that label to.

Labeling Blog Posts

Step 1

Go to your Blogger Dashboard and select the blog you want to edit. Click "Posts" in the navigation pane on the left side of the Blogger window.
