Tag Cloud design
Tag Clouds are used to display all the categories or labels present in a blog. The inherent design of this widget in Blogger is very minimal and has a lot of space for creativity. In this post we will be showcasing two Label Widget designs which you can easily integrate within your blog. Both these use :after and :before selectors to manipulate the tag's design at the edges. Also CSS3 Gradients and Box-Shadow properties are also used to give it more sophisticated and peppy look . Lets get started then


Just a Second
Before you get started make sure that your Blog has the Label Widget present already and set the Display option to Cloud . After you have done this then only proceed to the next

Also Don't forget to checkout the Design #1 and Design #2 of the Label Styles.
