Do you want to display posts of specific label on your Blogger blog? You’re in the right place. In this tutorial, I will guide you step-by-step on how to show posts of specific/particular label by adding the Specific Label Post widget.

Blogger builtin themes offer only the Most Popular Posts widget. Like professional Custom Blogger themes, Blogger builtin themes don’t provide important widgets like Recent Posts, Specific Label Post Widget, Related Post Widget, etc.

You can also try multi-functional widget that shows both Recent and Specific Label posts horizontally and vertically:

Add Posts of Specific Label in Blogger

Follow the steps to add the Specific Label Post widget in Blogger.

• Go to your Blogger dashboard and click the Layout from the sidebar.
• Go to Sidebar section on the Layout and click the Add a Gadget.

• Click the HTML/JavaScript gadget.

• Enable Show this widget if it is disabled.
• In the Title enter a relevant name to your widget. For example, if you want to display posts of sports, the title could be Latest Sports, Sports, Football, Cricket, Basketball, etc.
• In the Content, paste the code of Specific Label Posts widget that I have shared below, in the next step.
• Click the Save.

Copy the below code and Paste in the Content, as shown above. Scroll Down to the last part of code, you will find these line. Don’t forget to replace the LabelName with your Label.

• var numposts = 6;   // Number of Posts
• var showpostsummary = true; // Write false if you want only Title
• var numchars = 70  // Number of characters for Post Summary below the Title of Post
• <script type=”text/javascript” src=”/feeds/posts/default/-/LabelName?published&alt=json-in-script&callback=labelthumbs”></script> // Replace the LabelName with the label to whose Posts you want to display. For Example, src=”/feeds/posts/default/-/Sports?published&alt…..
