[GUIDE] WIDGETS: CUSTOMIZE BLOGGER LABEL CLOUD V1


Tutorial Modifying Category Labels For Blogger

In this guide I will demonstrate how to turn the default (and boring) random cloud 'label' display into neat little blocks. Despite what I first thought when entering the scary looking world of Blogger's backroom, the TAG or CATEGORY widget can be customised with ease.

Here is how to customise the Blogger's label widget, we will be editing some CSS code so take care when copying and pasting the code.

Navigate to the layouts section:

Login to blogger > your blog > then select Layouts

Add a gadget > choose Labels

Inside the settings make sure you choose the cloud display.

Edit html > Proceed

CSS 'Labels' Settings Code.

Put this CSS code in the CSS's area of the script, or if you already have one, just change the perspective tag.



.label-size{
margin:0 2px 6px 0;
padding: 3px;
text-transform: uppercase;
border: solid 1px #C6C6C6;
border-radius: 3px;
float:left;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:10px;
color:#666;
}

.label-size:hover {
border:1px solid #6BB5FF;
text-decoration: none;
-moz-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
-o-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
-webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
-ms-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;

-moz-transform: rotate(7deg);

zoom: 1;
}

.label-size a {
text-transform: uppercase;
float:left;
text-decoration: none;
}

.label-size a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
}

Customising Labels Cloud in Blogger

Another option we can choose is whether to display a maximum amount of Labels. This gives us an element of control over what is displayed on the homepage, keeping it neat and to the point. Helping our readers get to what they need, faster.





Already had styled labels?

If you have Label styles already applied to your website you might already have code similar to the code below. If so just carefully replace it with the code listed below. 
The only tags you need for this style are 

.label-size
.label-size:hover
.label-size a
.label-size a:hover

Copy the code in and delete any additional or duplicate tags that might appear.
