Adding Label Name next to Blogger Post Title

Before

After

Post titles are usually located on top of your posts, and you can choose to show your post's labels at the bottom of you posts. Typically, you use label to categorize a post. For example, you'd use the label 'Books' to tell your readers that that particular post is about books, and 'Cooking' to indicate that it is a post related to cooking. Wouldn't it be cool if you could have your label automatically appear next to your post title, to allow your readers to distinguish which category your posts belong to? This blog post is a respond to Blog Readers Jelena Dimić and Euronomist.

Note: This is not a Dynamic View tutorial, as such it won't work with Dynamic View templates.

Before

After

A few months ago, Blogger (finally) introduced the ability to add gadgets to Dynamic View templates. As of the time of this writing, Dynamic View templates support up to 13 gadgets to be added to its gadget-dock. However, the gadget dock itself is very much fixed to the right of your blog, and there isn't an option to bring it to the left. When you can have left-sidebars in non-Dynamic View templates, why not have the same in Dynamic View templates? This is a respond to blog reader Richard.
