Fetching and Displaying Labels

Show post categories by using the Label widget or looping through data.

In Blogger, "Labels" are used as categories or tags. You can display them as a list for the whole blog or show the specific labels applied to a single post.

Method 1: The Label Widget

The simplest way. Add a Label widget from the Layout dashboard. It will automatically generate a list of all labels used on your blog, with links to the respective category pages.

Method 2: Looping Through Post Labels

To display the labels for a *specific post*, you need to use a loop inside the `Blog1` widget. This is very common for post meta sections.
