[RESOLVED]
Hey guys and girls!
I'm using blogger.com for my blog, and am constantly working to improve the visitor's experience on by blog by improving the look and feel and performance of my website. In this direction, I've included a CSS/JavaScript/JQuery based header animated slideshow, that, I feel enhances the visual appeal of my blog. To make it easily navigable, I worked upon and implemented a CSS/JQuery based menu at the top of header, that, I plan, will give an easy access to various elements of my blog, including some pages, and other elements.
Now, I found out that clicking on any of our blog's label tags shows us all posts that include that label. I implemented this with some of my newest posts, and carefully put labels in all those posts, that I wanted to, be displayed when searched for a single label. Doing this, I got a url, something like this: www.myblogsname.com/search/label/my%20label. I easily used this url to create a hyperlink to create a menu item at the top of the page, in the menu bar.
*Please note that I don't have a blog named www.myblogname.com. It is used just for an example, as I don't want to indulge in SSP.

This is an actual image from my blog's header menu. The menu item What's Growing marked here, works with the tag search url of about the same label in many of my blog posts. The underlying URL of link is something like: www.myblogsname.com/search/label/my%20label
But, since I realized that quite late in my blogging career, I'm left with no other option but to lookout for alternative ways to do that and create a url to search for multiple labels. I want to create a URL with those multiple labels, because using that URL, I'll be able to create a hyperlink menu in the menu bar. The need to find this work around arises from the fact that there are a number of posts that are related to each other in one or the other ways, but, since, I didn't know the deep importance labels and tags, I never bothered to use common labels in all those related posts, and now have to look out for work around to make all those related posts easily navigable by clicking on a button.
In this lookout, I scoured the mighty internet, and found some tips on how this could be done. I experimented with some examples quoted on some helpful websites/blogs, but, wasn't able to implement the thing the way I wanted (in the way, I expected it to work correctly). Working on with trial and error with the ways, I reached a URL like this: (Please note that this is just an example)
www.myblogname.com/search/?q=label1|labelname1:label2|label%20name%202:label3|labelname3:label4|labelname4
While this URL is working, but isn't working quite the way it should, and isn't showing all the posts having the keywords/labels I passed in the URL. I'm saying this because I know that there are multiple posts with the keyword labels I've used in the URL, but, just two or three our four posts appear.
I would like to request you guys to help me out with this stuff, as I'm stuck in this, and can't get a way out of this.
The issue has now been resolved.
Here is the solution:
Finally, having a brainstorming session with Ranjith, paid up. I finally got the thing rectified, and now it is working quite properly.
We just have to make a URL this way: www.myblogname.com/search/?q=label|labelname1:label|label%20name%202:label|labelname3:label|labelname4
The first change to the url, I was using earlier was correcting the label keyword. Earlier, I was using label1:labelname1,label2:labelname2, label3:labelname3, and so on to denote labels, while I had to usethe keyword label, This way label:labelname1, label:labelname2, label:labelname3.
The second important thing to keep in mind is the capitalization (case) of the keywords/labels/tags. This was one big hurdle for getting it done for me. You are required to use the keywords as you've used in the post. For example, if you've used "Poem" in any of your posts and are using "poem" in the url label, to search for, it simply won't work.
Just a while back, I was told by Ranjith that this could have been done the easier way by adding/appending labels to each of those posts, as I had just 50 published posts. Till now I thought it wasn't possible, once I had published the posts, because, I tried changing the labels but couldn't. After his tip, I checked again, and still, I wasn't able to edit the labels unless I clicked on "Labels", and I thought that I was such a fool to try this stuff instead of trying a way to edit labels in the posts.![]()
Anyways, this, I think, might help other people who want such a thing, and have too many posts to append the labels to.
Reason: Update to indicate that the issue is resolved
