The insight that your blog is a database unlocks special blog pages tailored to combine subtopics.
Not just a page showing all the posts you've labeled "bread" (an old trick, and a handy one), but a page combining posts with two labels ("bread" plus "cheese").
Or, a page restricted to posts bearing both labels ("bread" and "cheese"). Or one that excludes (all "bread," except if also "cheese").
Well, you can do the same things with your blog feed.

Step back and ask yourself, “How can I give my users what they want while getting what I want?”

The PageList sidebar widget, and the older LinkList widget, each creates a list of links.
PageList, which Blogger calls "Pages" on its list of widgets, has one clear advantage.
LinkList won't automatically reformat as a horizontal list in the Responsive blog themes. PageList will.
A tabbed navigational widget is generally a very good thing to provide for your readers.
Some find PageList challenging to set up. The user interface is poor, so I've written a PageList guide.
