I hope you know that in Blogger , the label pages contains all posts. That is , If I am giving a label Firefox , and if there is 20 posts labeled with Firefox , all these posts will appear on a single page . So this method would help you to control the number of posts per label page .

Open your Blogger template’s edit HTML Click on expand widget templates .Now search for this <b:widget id=’Label1′ locked=’false’ title=’Labels’ type=’Label’> section.Before searching , make sure that you have added labels in Blogger .Scroll down through your template and find out the following code , which is should be located inside the label widget itself .

<a expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' expr:href='data:label.url'><data:label.name/></a></b:if><span dir='ltr'>(<data:label.count/>)</span>

Delete this section and replace with this code .

<a expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' expr:href='data:label.url   &quot;?max-results=5&quot;'><data:label.name/><span dir='ltr'>(<data:label.count/>)</span></a></b:if>
