Default Question about labels

Hi all !

I did an experiment today. I made all of articles (4 of them) in one label and when I clicked the label, all of the four articles showed up in 1 page

How can I restrict to only 2 articles showing up when the people click a label ?

This is my blog: Get into Medical School

Thanks in Advance

P.S: Thank you very much for the blogger training videos. It was very easy to understand.

It looks like you solved the problem. I notice that only blog posts show up under "Medical Education." Is that what you were trying to accomplish?

Nice blog by-the-way

Thank you very much for your quick reply Mr. Sommers.

If I have four articles in one category, for examples, now I have 4 articles in "medical education". When I click the label "medical education", the blogger shows me four articles on the Firefox.

Get into Medical School: Medical Education
If you click that, I think you will see four articles at the same page as well.

Do you see if it's possible to let the blogger only show me 2 articles at once when I click the label, "medical education" ?

I appoligize for the last post for the inadequte explanation.

I don't think Blogger is able to only show 2 posts or articles if you've written 4 articles and labeled them with the same name. You can limit the number of posts seen on the home page, but I don't think you can do it for label pages.

You could label 2 of your 4 posts with slightly different label names.

If you don't mind telling me, why do you only want 2 posts to show up under the label "medical education?" That might help me understand what you're trying to accomplish.

I am worrying that if one label with many posts gets very long in one page the people will not see many ads when they scroll down. That is my primary concern.

I understand your concern. I would consider doing one of the following.

1. Keep your titles very short for each article ... 2-4 words and use the title for the label. That way you will have a different label for each article and only have one article for each label.

2. The other option is going to take some research on my part. I will get back to you.
