Blogger Lift discussion

Could you please elaborate? I think you might mean labels- on the blogger dashboard (blogger.com logged in with your blogger profile) There is a new post button in the top left, click that. It will pop up with a new post. On the middle right, there is a box called "labels". Click on that. It has instructions on how to create "labels", or categories, as you call them. Basically just type your label name, and separate each one with a comma.

To find the label: Go on your blog (enter your http://(your url).blogspot.com), find the post (you have to publish it) with the labels you want to find, and simply click the label to go to the label's unique URL.

Anyway, hope this helped!

Yep- add the 'labels' Gadget to your sidebar or wherever you want it on your blog (in the layout section of your Blogger dashboard), then go to your blog click on the 'tag' you want when you've successfully added it. Each tag has its own web address, which is nice- I have some of them as part of my 'pages' underneath my header.

Sure, my blog is http://victoriansoulcritiques.blogspo... Underneath the About, etc. line there's Fantasy-Historical-Science Fiction, which are all clickable categories.
One downside is it pretty much gives all your reviews less clicks, since you can get them all in three clicks of the pages, but I've found it useful for people who only like my historical reviews, or only my sci-fi and fantasy reviews.
I still get plenty of people who only like to click specific reviews or my etc. posts from my blog archive, though.

My 'labels' gadget is titled Genres and Tags, which is on my sidebar.

It's called "Labels" for the labels thingy, you have to scroll down a bit to find it when adding a gadget in the layout section.
For the "pages" gadget (the thing under my header), you click on one of your labels on your blog homepage, copy the web address, then "add an external link" while editing the pages gadget. Of course, if you only use a few labels (instead of my huge bundle of them), people might use the labels more, and you probably won't need the pages gadget for anything other than an 'about me', 'archive' or other page.
If you need a visual of either process, here's a tutorial I found for pages:

And here's one for labels:

If you go to the very bottom, there is the label gadget in the footer.
