A labels widget displays your post labels. By default, it displays post labels as "Lists" or "Cloud" only. Displaying labels with lists or cloud menu is good enough for new blogs or blog with few posts and labels, but as your posts increase, so will your labels too.

Follow these simple steps:
- Login to blogger.
- Backup your template.
- Go to Design> Edit HTML
- Check “Expand Widget Templates".
- Look for the code:
<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'/> - Replace it with:
<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'><select style='width:100%' onchange='location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'><option>Click to choose</option>
<b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'>
<option expr:value='data:label.url'><data:label.name/>
(<data:label.count/>)
</option>
</b:loop>
</select>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget> - Preview it & then Save.
- That's all, now you have reduced space for your labels widget.
