Blogger: Labeling Sections on the Layout Page


I've created a responsive theme for Blogger. Thus, since the Layout page shows is a reflection of the actual layout, but doesn't make use of media queries. Everything is lined up vertically at 100% width in the admin area(which is expected).

My question: is there a way that I can label the sections somehow so that the labels show up on the layout page, but not when viewing the site? Currently when viewing the layout page, there are 8 sections that say "Add a Gadget", and the user has no way of knowing which section is what.


Solution

  • Years later, the correct answer is now outdated and no longer works. However, Google added support for naming sections by simply adding the attribute: name="NameOFSectionHere" to the widget section.

    Complete example for naming your header section "New Header" in the "admin > layout":

    <b:section id='header' name='New Header' showaddelement='true'>
