Blogger offers an enjoyable easy-to-use Label management area Located at Posts >> Labels. Through this option, you can manage, edit or can even quickly delete labels with just few clicks. There is a straightforward way to add/ Remove or rename Labels.

The first thing you need to do is to select a certain label from the “Label Value Area”. On selecting, it would show up all the articles filed under certain Label. Check out the following screenshot for details.

You need to select all posts through the check box allocated next to the title of your posts. After selecting the posts properly, press the “Label action button” present just above the list of your posts. On pressing it a drop down window will appear, select “New Label” and enter a fresh label name which you want to give to your selected posts. Once done, press the OK button to conclude.
