Add label list to blog

If you are using an old classic blogger template, you will have the new Label (category of tag) feature in the New Blogger, but you will not be able to add a Label List in the Sidebar. The labels will only appear at the bottom of the post. If you want to have a Label List in the sidebar like those using the New Blogger template, you will have to add it manually.

Copy the URL from the address bar at the top of the browser.

Of course if you have more than one labels, you will have to do the above more than once (but only once for each individual label). If you have many labels, which is more likely, the HTML you add may be something like this:
