May be, initially you would not have given enough importance to these labels. And now when you realized the importance, you may find tens and hundreds of posts in your blog with improper labels, which need to be edited, or you may even want to delete some of the labels you have already added, or you may want to add some new labels to your previous posts.
Blogger does help you to do this quite easily, but I still think that they should make it even more better !
Anyways here's how you can edit, add or delete labels in Blogger.
Log in to Blogger, in the Posting section, click on Edit Posts.
See the highlighted regions in the image above.
As soon as you click on Edit posts, you will see all posts written by you (select posts per page as 300 in the right corner of the page).
1. Now to delete any label, click on "Select All". Then in the drop down menu "Labels action", under "Remove label" option you will see the list of all labels, click on the one, you want to remove for ever.
2. To add a label, select all the posts, you want to add the label. Then in the drop down menu "Labels action", under "Apply label" option click on New label.... Finally enter the name of the new label.
3. And in case you want to edit a label, unfortunately there's no direct option given by Blogger.
So do this, firstly in the list of labels column, present at the left side of the page, click on the label you want to edit. Now only those posts are displayed which have this label. Now add a temporary label to these posts. Then delete the label, you want to edit. Now click on the temporary label in the labels list. Now add the new label. Then finally delete the temporary label.
And finally display important labels as a link list in a widget, or display all the labels as a flash widget in your blog.

Write commentsNice info, I agree that Blogger should include some sort of direct label editing tool, maybe if enough people request it they might include it in blogger in draft.
ReplyThanks a lot, very useful...

ReplyHi, thanks for the tip.
ReplyAbout #3, I think you can save one step by selecting articles with the label you want to change, add a new ("modified") label to them, do the same selection and than erase the old label.
Yes that can be done, but I have written this additional step, because in case some one wants to modify the word with (say) a capital letter, like modify "gadgets" to "Gadgets", then you cannot add the tag Gadgets, without deleting the tag gadgets first, because Blogger considers both the words as same.
ReplyIn that case, you must add something like gadgets1 or gadgets2 etc. as a temporary tag, then you have to delete the first tag (gadgets), and then add the new tag Gadgets, and finally delete the temporary tag too !
Thank you so much!!
Replyvery useful post! :D

ReplyWow this is just what I was looking for..Thanks so much.
Replyhye i need some help regarding this post. im having tough times to complete this task anyway.
Replymy question is how do you do things like this:
Haunted Room Stories:
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
this is basically to post series of stories from the same title. so you only need to click on the number which link to the entry you want to read. can you please help me? im a real noob in this blog world
Hi ikha,
Replycouldn't get your purpose...
Are these 5 parts of a story linked to subsections from the same page, like in wikipedia (introduction, history, sunnary etc.)?
i dont really good in explaining i guess, but roughly those 5 entries are linked to one very subsections. like if you are going to do a series of novels. this is an example
Replyhttp://hlovaterror.blogdrive.com/
They are all simple hyperlinks.
ReplyCreate 10 (or whatever number of) posts, and divide your story in to these 10 parts.
Now you will have ten urls to these 10 posts:
yourblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/post-1.html
yourblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/post-2.html
..
..
..
yourblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/post-10.html
Now create hyperlinks to those 10 brackets, like this:
[<a href="http://yourblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/post-1.html">1<>][<a href="http://yourblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/post-2.html">2</a>]...[<a href="http://yourblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/post-10.html">10</a>]
That's it, place these hyperlinked brackets in a HTML/JavaScript widget and drag it to your sidebar.
thank you so much for this article. It has been my guide in deleting irrelevant labels.

thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a while now. Blogger doesn't make it very clear.

ReplyOh...it's live. I 4get it. :D
ReplyYes this was helpful BUT is there a way to SAVE (without publishing) these label changes?
ReplyI just want to save the changes.
Not resend the bloody thing out again.
Don't hit the "publish" button. Simply wait for a few seconds, and changes will be saved autmatically.
ReplyThank you! This was very helpful to me when I realized that I had capitalized some labels and not others. I like uniformity.
ReplyI had no idea how to go about changing them, though. So this was very useful.
waowww!!!

ReplyHow to Move from many posts at once from one label to another???
ReplyFirst Select all the posts you want to move to a particular label and then click on the label you want to... from the drop down menu (label Actions) and then remove the previous label from the same drop down menu.
I stumbled upon your blog while finding out how to delete labels in blogger. Apparently, with the new blog look it's not that easy to delete labels now. I'm actually hoping you can teach me how. Thanks!
