    Hi

    I have way over 150 posts and none of the posts are organised by categories. Its getting pretty hard to find anything!!

    Can someone teach me how to set up categories on the side bar in Blogger so that I can go back through all these posts and alot them to a category?

    Or maybe you know where the instructions can be found in Blogger "help"? I can never find anything in "help"!!

    you can't post or have a category in blogger blog, but you can use the label instead to display post having that label that will serve as a category

    I just added the widget for Labels, and titled it "Categories". The problem is that there is a limit of only 20 Labels in the widget. You can use more labels, but they will not appear in the widget. I don't know how to get around that.

    I have been putting the extra labels as links in the Links widget, and I titled it "Navigation". You can see what I'm talking about at the link in my sig. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

    Thanks for your help. It also looks like I need to upgrade my template to do this!! So... I'll practice on an old one.
