Customization (Optional):

1. Simply delete the texts/code being highlighted in  orange color above in order to show the number of posts bearing the name of particular label beside the label tag as shown in the screenshot below.
2. Adjust the height of the label by changing the height (in yellow text) above (210px)

Step 5. Finally, click the Save button. Enjoy!
