How to remove/delete labels from Blogger posts

How to remove/delete labels from Blogger posts
Many bloggers might find labels below posts (or post titles) unnecessary, as long as they are already in the blog's sidebar. So, this tutorial will show you how to remove them manually from the Template's HTML. To hide labels from the blogger post footer (or below post title), we could simply uncheck the "Labels" option; however, this setting might not work properly in some custom templates and then, we'll have to remove the code from our template.

    Hi gail,

    From your Blogger Dashboard, go to Settings, click on the Comments subtab (or Posts and comments) and at the Comment Form Placement (or Comment Location), select "Embeded below posts"(Embedded) option - then click on Save Settings. Hope it helps :)

    i only liked your sitemap, i just want to know how you generated it and what trick you applied, i want a good sitemap generator, I think you have done it manually, but i am looking to generate a sitemap like yours in more easy manner. I dont want to write each and every post url and then write about them. It is very time consuming and painful. Have a trick? then post it for readers...

    Hi Ayurved Info Center, I have already post about how to generate sitemap or table of contents in Blogger. You don't need to add every post URL manually. Here is the post: https://bloggerchive.blogspot.com/2013/12/add-sitemap-table-of-contents-to-blogger.html
