Displaying posts of a specific label
You can choose some random posts adding a label to them. Featured is a very common label for this purpose, but you can use others like slider, special, or any word you want.You can also use an existing label and make the slider thematic. Example: a slider that displays only posts under the label travel.
Adding the label on the slider gadget
- Go to Layout on the Blogger dashboard vertical menu on the left.
- Locate the Slider gadget and open it
- Write the label name on the Content Field
- Save

Labels are case sensitive on Blogger. That means that travel, Travel, and
TRAVEL are three different labels. Please make sure you are using the correct label.
Displaying the most recent posts
To display the posts more recent published posts just leave the slider's Content field totally empty.
