How To Put Categories On Blogger
As I have said before, I already got me a WordPress blogs. I find the categories in WordPress really helpful specially if I am looking for something in my posts (or if a reader is interested in a certain topic). I wish in blogger I can also put up a category widget. In Blogger some opted to use the LABELS as categories. The problem with this one is it will show all your labels from the most used one (like blogging) to the most trivial one (like achuvachuchu). Have you tried it? And the worst thing about taking out the labels, it can make your side go slow in terms of loading. We hate that right? Who would want to visit your site if it takes forever to load?
So I asked the java geek and beg him to create a java script for me for the labels. I told him to create a script that will let me choose how many labels I want to show depending on how frequent I used. The logic behind his widget is this it will only show LABELS that I used frequently. If I ask it show only fie labels, it will show the top five labels I use. And since it is a java script, it also took a lot of time to load… so even though he spend some time dong it, I have to say goodbye to his script.
Then a brilliant idea came to me once upon a time I was sitting down on our toilet seat (how come that during this times ideas came flowing in my mind?).. why not use the search label instead? What I did is to click a certain label on my post. For example the label BLOGGING. If you click it it will give you a page full of blog entries with the same label blogging, right?
You will notice that n your browser tab the url appears like this:
http://YOUR SITE URL/search/label/the label you clicked
And since I clicked Blogging this is what I got:
http://www.techpehpot.com/search/label/Blogging
And all of my blog entries that I labeled Blogging appeared. What I did to make it a ” category widget” on my sidebar was add an html widget on my sidebars and paste the anchored text links on it. My text links have the name of a certain label and it is linked to the search url (like the one above) of that label.
So for the category BLOGGING it is linked to http://www.techpehpot.com/search/label/Blogging
Get it?If you are wondering why there is no “category widget” here yet.. uh well, I am still figuring out what are the labels that I want to show.. still organizing my labels 
. If you have more questions feel free to ask here.. I will try my best to answer them.
