The first and easiest way to create
categories section in Blogger is to rename the section of labels widget as

separate categories section.

Adding categories section
to a Blogger blog involves following steps :
1. First of all you have to decide how you want to group your
articles, according to the labels applied, and what group heading you wants to
give to each grouping of articles.
2. Navigate individual page of the label for first category which you want to use by clicking on the label in side bar. Copy your Blog address URL of this page. For example the URL address of the label of Blogger Widget on my site is:
3. Now go to Dashboard > Layout > Add a Gadget > Link List

| Link List |
5. Enter "Categories" as the title
6. In the Configure Link List dialog box,
paste the link of the label you've copied from the address bar to Site

7. Click on Add Link to add the link to your
new categories list.

wish to put into the Categories Section copy the link and add it

number of posts :
You can also Limit the Number of Posts
Displayed in the Categories Section. For this you will need to adjust the URL's of each
label as follows :

Change the value of max results to number of
posts you want to display, for example: max-results=5
