Introduction - What are "tags"?

Tags are a new way of navigating. Unlike traditional navigation menus, tags are based on how relevant something is rather than where the web master thought it would be good to put it. Tags are used in much the same way as you might use labels in your day-to-day life; you put little notes on the things you need to remember, and you can come back to them at a later time.

Currently popular tags

parenting | stress | inspiration | candy bar messages | selfish behavior | diet | emotional withdrawal | romance | toys | teens | Muslim names | homemade birthday party favors | depression | scrapbook layouts | I love the lemonaid diet | exercise jokes | writing | behavior | wedding of the century | books | coloring pages | fall | spanking | Internet porn | Tips | dining room centerpieces | home buying | sigheh | planning | narcissistic personality disorde | Food | easter | wedding | fitness jokes | quotes | arguments against adoption | twins | disney world | activities | shopping | relationship issues | narcissitic personality disorder | saving money | ideas | games | Kids | teddy bear cake | pregnancy | christmas | difficult in-laws | safety | blog | Sharing Time | marriage tips | discipline | home business | marriage | Islamic names | magic kingdom | cooking | frugal | cartoon | save money | prescription | thumbprint art | baby shower | navel infection | thrifty | deals | organization | relationships | communication jokes | weight loss | coffee can crafts | Young Women | fitness | couples night out | Career Step | Primary | home schedules | Cleaning | education | child development | frugal living | girl names | belly button infection | becky higgins | health | Jada Pickett Smith | lds | home improvement | Muslim bathing suit | free | sex | Scrapbooking | family | recipes | mottled skin | school | fitness quotes | home | Coupons | FHE | Josh Duggar | employment | Travel | house rules | baby | layouts | Gifts | communication | insurance | breastfeeding | marriage fitness | 3rd and 4th grade book list | Valentine's Day | music | holidays | love | special needs | Anna Keller | Celebrity | mort fertel | teenagers | food storage | parents | money | dating | family fun | children | celebrities | death | pregnancy blogs | exercise | adoption | Mother's Day | pets | christian | affectionate terms | bird nest craft | divorce | confronting a narcissist | craft | disobedient children | candles | Flannel Board Stories | babies | crafts | baby names | alpha-fetaprotein

It would be cool if I had a place where i could look up a list of all the tags I have made.

Kevin (1275) 06 Sep 2005 02:57 AM

We agree! Expect to see this feature added shortly.

I have tagged things, but they are not being recorded on the little meter...

Recently, I asked what a tag was---you answered ! Now I ask---how do you do it ?

Sincerely, Lori Weis

To start tagging, go to the bottom of any article and click on "add tags" in the dark green box. It will then give you a white box to enter your tags and an "add" button to click when you have entered your tags. It's that simple.

We haven't yet implemented a method for deleting tags, as it causes a few problems with regards to determining the relative popularity of a tag, but we're working on a few possible solutions and should have something implemented shortly.

THanks =)

Sorry, maybe I'm just slow...but what is tagging and how is it done???

bluetree (2947) 29 Nov 2005 05:13 PM

hockeymom..when you are logged in you can tag an article with what you want to remember it by or to label it in a way that will help the families.com community find it. once you read an article, and are logged in, click 'add tags' and start adding tags one at a time in the form that appears. have fun!

I noticed there is a tag option on the blog entries, but I have had not been able to tag mine? Are the blogs tagable?

Kevin (1275) 12 Feb 2006 11:51 PM

Everything is taggable that has the tag form at the bottom.

tpthunder (25) 14 Feb 2006 09:36 PM

not sure what this tagging is about but will try it anyway.

momof2girls (25) 07 Mar 2006 08:06 PM

Very interesting on the way to keep up with stuff on here.

Carson Hopkins (790) 10 Mar 2006 09:49 PM

One thing that's nice is that you can log in and click 'My Tags' at the top. When you do that you see everything you have tagged. I am using it as a way to save my favorite articles and blog posts on the site.

I will give this a try. Marjorie Dorfman, Pop Culture

Tags are great, but I wish there was a way to delete them if you make an error. I've seen a few typos and I've even made a couple and wish I could erase them. Will that ever be available?

bluetree (2947) 09 May 2006 01:02 AM

nic, the ability to delete tags is coming in a week or two as a part of a large families.com upgrade...

So do you tag say, one topic under a specific forum? How do you tag it?

bluetree (2947) 15 Jul 2006 11:18 PM

T - basically you tag anything you like with a word that will help you remember (and tell the community) what something is about. so if you find an article on babies, you could tag it 'baby' and then when you go to your mysite (profile page) you can click on the tags link to see what you tagged (or bookmarked really) as baby....

bluetree (2947) 15 Jul 2006 11:19 PM

go to any blog article and at the bottom you can tag it, assuming you are logged in

notthenanny (86) 12 Feb 2007 06:39 PM

so what do you do? just click on a tag?

Meg (50) 10 Mar 2007 07:21 PM

I keep trying to add tags, but it is not showing up on my list....#%$^@&. My points are going up, but the tags are not appearing anywhere! What am I doing wrong?

gailanderic (10) 16 Apr 2007 02:28 PM

Hopefully this works for me. This tagging thing is a great idea!

gscs (180) 30 May 2007 08:11 PM

i really don't know what is tag ? and how to perform this to enhance your article...

goodfood4pets (36) 05 Jul 2007 05:59 PM
