Blogspot blogs at Blogger.com have no categories only labels. This tutorial will show you how to manually create categories from your existing labels. While this is not an ideal solution it will mean that you can display a logical grouping of your most popular articles under the one heading. This article is aimed at new bloggers and beginner bloggers although it is suitable for all Blogger Blogspot bloggers. No changes to the template are required to add these categories to your logger Blog spot blog.

Create Categories from Labels
One easy way to create a categories section is to simply rename the title of the labels widget as categories. This solution does not work for me because on this blog I have a huge number of labels and I don’t want to show this widget at the top of my sidebar. An easy way round this problem is create a separate categories section. If you look at the sidebar of this blog you will notice that I have several major categories at the top so that a new visitor will find what they are looking for quickly under these broad headings.
