blogger label cloud Modifying the display of Blogger Label Cloud – Yesterday, Kang Rohman informed you about the new feature for Blogger, label cloud. Some have opinion that the display of Blogger label cloud is not interesting to view. If so, you can modify the display of Blogger Label Cloud into the better one. Maybe you want to change the font color, font size, font style, or anything else. It is easy to do that. You only need to add some CSS codes as you desire.

Basically, label cloud has shown the label with the changeable letters based on the number of the label. For instance, the keyword "Blogspot Tutorial" will be larger than the other keywords because Kang Rohman has posted many articles/posts labeled with the keyword "Blogspot Tutorial".

The basic CSS codes for Blogger label cloud is like the following:

 

.label-size-1 a { }
.label-size-2 a { }
.label-size-3 a { }
.label-size-4 a { }
.label-size-5 a { }
 

You can see that there are 5 levels of letter that you can customize, .label-size-1 a is the smallest and .label-size-5 a is the biggest. With the basic CSS codes, of course, you can add the setting and modification on your Label Cloud, but you have to be more familiar with the CSS codes. The example of CSS code to set up the display of Label Cloud:


 

.label-size-1 a {
font-size: 12px;
text-decoration: none;
}
.label-size-2 a {
font-size: 14px;
text-decoration: none;
color:#cd9f01;
}
.label-size-3 a {
font-size: 15px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
text-decoration: none;
}
.label-size-4 a {
font-size: 18px;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration: none;
color:#ea5a04;
}
.label-size-5 a {
font-size: 24px;
text-decoration: none;
}
 
.label-size-1 a:hover, 
.label-size-2 a:hover, 
.label-size-3 a:hover, 
.label-size-4 a:hover, 
.label-size-5 a:hover { text-decoration:underline }
 

If you have been so familiar with CSS code, simply add any other modification and setting on the code.


 


Below is how to enter the CSS code into your template:


 



  1. Please Log in to blogger account with your ID
  2. Click Layout.
  3. Click Edit HTML tab
  4. Copy and paste the code below exactly above the code ]]></b:skin>
















  5. Click SAVE TEMPLATE button

Now view your label cloud. If you did it, the display will be more different from before.
