News!! Changing The Event Of Your Label Values

This article is well-nigh how to modify the illustration of the Labels inwards your blog.  For example, from lower to initial illustration ("cats" to "Cats") or flush all capital-letters ("CATS").

When but about people outset using Blogger, they utilise labels to posts without much thought:  they only type "cats" into the label field, inwards improver to don't catch how it testament await subsequently on.   Even worse, they type inwards "Dogs" for the side by times side postal service service inwards improver to "FROGS" subsequently on.

This gives an untidy, unprofessional-looking labels gadget.

And it's a fleck hard to fix:  you lot laissez passer on the sack modify the labels on individual posts, but if flush i other postal service service has "cats" every chip a label, it doesn't matter how many times you lot add together together "Cats" to new posts the label testament e'er final recorded every chip "cats".

The only approach I've flora is to utilise a unique temporary label to all posts with the value you lot wishing to change, thence to delete the initial label inwards improver to job the temporary label to Pb the posts to utilise the correctly-formatted value to.

How to modify the illustration of existing Labels

Log inwards to Blogger, inwards improver to instruct to the Posts > All tab.

Display all the posts with the label you lot wishing to modify (eg "fred"), by times choosing the value from teh drop-down listing closed the acme right of the screen.

Select the posts by times clicking the checkbox inwards a higher family the outset column inwards the listing of posts.

Use the Labels drop-down menu (the i with a celluloid of a luggage-label on it, only inwards a higher family the listing of posts) to:

• Give them a new temporary label that's not already inwards job (eg "xxx-temp") - when you lot stimulate got done this, they testament all stimulate got at to the lowest bird ii labels.

• Remove the label that you lot wishing to change

• Select all the posts with the temporary label

• Give them the label that you lot wishing to change to (eg "Fred")

• Remove the temporary label that you lot added inwards the 2nd step.

Warning

Blogger blogs stimulate got a maximum of 5000 labels.   Some problems that stimulate got been raised inwards the Blogger-Help-Forum build me hateful value that this is a life-time limit, inwards improver to that a label is nevertheless included flush if no electrical catamenia posts stimulate got it, though I haven't tested this personally.  I suspect that applying the physical attention for inwards a higher family testament job upwards to three labels:  the original, the temporary i inwards improver to the new one.   You may not wishing to job it if you lot hateful value that your weblog mightiness e'er build the limit.
