Label Display on Blogs in Blogger

As mentioned in yesterday's post I did not start using labels until I had been blogging for awhile.  In hind site that was not a wise decision but as a new blogger it was only one of many mistakes I made.  Blogger offers three ways to display labels on your blog:

1. one each post
2. as a label list
3. as a label cloud

There is also an option to show the number of posts under each label.  I have found that my readers like the labels on each post.  For many blogs this may be more than sufficient.  However for some niche blogs where there are several labels, a label list or cloud may encourage readers to explore the blog a bit more by clicking on the desired label.  Readers might not realize that for example you have a lot of 15 minute meals if all they see are the two or three labels on a post that have nothing to do with that topic and you haven't blogged about 15 minute meals for awhile.  I'm like the idea of giving my readers one more way to find the information they are looking for on my blogs so will be adding a cloud label to all of them.
