How can I have sub-categories in labels

I post a lot of poetry and book reviews on this blog. And I want to have a quick access to the works of a particular poet/author I have posted about. If I create labels for each poet and author, it will make my labels' list unmanageable. And Blogger does not allow me to have sub-categories under a label (ah! how I would love that feature!).

I know the answer is - get your own domain and you can have code that will do this for you. But that is too much work to do when all I want to do is simply to post. Moreover, where will I find time to create and manage a site, when I dont even have enough time to read all the blogs I'd like to, or post on my own.

What I have resorted to for now is create a post, and compile lists of poets and authors in separate posts, and link to these posts on the navigation pane. It is still not a single-click access as I desire, but at least one can manage in two. Any ideas how to do it better?

ha ha ..same answer to the new question. Shift to wordpress.com, wordpress allows you to name a category as other category's parent. This way you can have sub categories and sub-sub categories. You can have as many levels of hierarchy you want I too embarked on having my own domain, but realized soon enough tht it isnt feasible for me, so I got back to my wordpress.com site and oh boy what a joy :)
