Blogger Label Widget Style #2

Continuing from my recent post about Blogger Label Widget style , I present another CSS3 powered style. It uses :before and :after selectors extensively & cunningly to manipulate the shapes accompanied with CSS3 transform. CSS3 gradients are used for backgrounds. It also highlights the the count besides each label. It was originally designed by Jakob Cosoroaba , I just converted it into Blogger usable .  



Before you get started make sure that your Blog has the Label Widget present already and set the Display option to Cloud and also tick the option to display the count. Demo
CSS3 Label Style

To add this Label Style to your blog, you can use the one click installer

Or you can add it manually

To do that just add the following CSS to your Blog

.label-size{
   display: inline-block;
   padding: 0px 10px;
   height: 29px;
   line-height:29px;
   border-radius: 5px;
   font-weight:bold;
   font-size:12px;
   text-decoration:none;
}

.label-size{
  border: 1px solid #769e42;

#Label1 {height:210px !important;}

Here the height in the Line 130 of the CSS above has to be adjusted according to the number of Labels your blog has . If this is not done then the Labels might overlap with other widgets.

Will be publishing one more design in the next week and also a tutorial on how to create the Add to Blogger button as asked my many readers . In case you have any problem implementing this in your Blog, feel free to ask .
