How to put Labels in a Drop Down Menu in Blogger/Blogspot

One of the main things that a visitor consider in a blog/website is the availability of easy access to specific pages they're interested to look for in your blog/site.

Therefore, optimizing your blogger by organizing its labels/categories/tags of your blog posts in a drop down menu is a big help to keep your audience coming back.


If you don't have an organized navigation which your readers could easily use to go to important topics they might be interested in, do you think they will come back to your Blogger blog? Do you think they will encourage others to visit your site, too?

The answer lies with the way how you categorized your topics under an organized location.

Here's a good example of organized labels under a drop down menu:

In this tutorial, you'll learn to organize labels in a drop down menu in Blogger/Blogspot to provide a good user experience to your visitors.

How to put Labels in a Drop Down Menu in Blogger/Blogspot

1. Log in to your Blogger account.

2. Go to 'Layout' > 'Menu'.

3. Click 'Add a Gadget' > 'Link List'.

4. Input your label name in 'New Site Name' typebox.

If you want your labels to appear in a multidropdown menu, add _ before the label name.
Ex. _Blogging

If you want your labels to be listed under a second drop down list, add two underscores (__) before the label name.

5. Enter below link in 'New Site URL' typebox.

1st option: /search/labels/name of your label 

2nd option: /search/label/name of your label

Use this 2nd choice if the 1st one doesn't work when you test your custom drop down menu list of topics.

Rename the blue text (name of your label) into the correct labels of your Blogger posts.

If your labels contain more than one word, try adding space between words.

Ex. /search/labels/Blogging Tips

6. Click 'Add Website'.

7. Add as many labels as you want.
Just repeat the same steps.

8. Add a general name for your labels (optional).
 Ex. Topics

In order for the drop down menu to work, your general label name must be put above your label lists.

9. Click 'Save'.

10. Voila! You now have a working label list in a drop down menu in your Blogger/Blogspot blog/website.

Test your site to see if the drop down label list works.

When clicking one label in a drop down menu during site test, you should see that all results of posts show up related to that label.
