Using Pages and Labels to create an attractive menu bar in Blogger

Tutorial Time:
 For those who are new to blogging and want to setup Page menu's to be as attractive as ever, here is a quick tutorial i just compiled.
 First things first, i will declare a series of steps for you to follow.

Step 1 : Create your Labels : Decide how many
labels you want to have. Labels are sub units that indicate every category/a topic in question can fall under, for example if you are a fashion blogger and give a label that you created the caption of "shoes" naturally every post that talks about shoes should fit under the  "Shoes" label. You can create as many as possible depending on your descretion.

Step 2 : Go tho the Layout menu, by the side of the blogger panel, Look for Cross-column and by the side click on "add a gadject", a small pop up window will open showing all the available blogger gadjects. Chose the "Label" gadject and click "save" to insert the gadject. 


Step 3: Once inserted you go to your blog home and immediately copy the url's generated from the labels created. You can paste the copied Url's in your system's note pad (text editor). To ensure you do not get confused.

Step 4: Once you have copied out all the links to your note pad, you save the links in the text editor, and return to blogger control pannel. 

Step 5: Go back to your layout menu and back to cross-column, you will see a button called "edit" beside cross-column. Click on it, the button will open up to review the "Label" pop up window. Click on remove and it will revert back to the way you met your cross-column at the begining of this tutorial.

Step 6: Go back to the layout menu by the side of your blogger panel. Look for Cross-column and by the side click on "add a gadject" again and you will be presented with a list of option. This time choose the "Page" gadject instead of the Label gadject. You will see the list of pages you have created and you can arrange them with drag and drop manner, but the labels that you created arnt there right?


Well..

Step 7: click on add "external link", and copy and paste the link you saved in your text editor, One after the other, till you are done. 

Once you are done pasting your links, you save and then return to your blog and start categorizing all your posts label by label.
