Maybe you've noticed this at the bottom of yours and others' blogs and photos:
But why, what is it, why do you want it, how do you use it?
Tags are a fairly common occurence on the Internet these days. The problem is how to label all the different information out there to make it recognizable. The response is by using tags. The computer doesn't know that a picture of your dog is a picture of your dog. But if you tag that picture of your dog as "My Dog" and every picture of your dog as "My Dog", then pretty soon you can easily find all pictures of your dog.
So view tags as a way to organize your Roundbook stuff. Your tags are put in a tag cloud under your profile:
You can see that the Roundbook blog has certain topics that it blogs about, mainly dealing with improvements and how to do stuff. The tags that appear the most often are the largest in the tag cloud. When you click on the tag cloud link for "My People" you'd see all blogs with that tag.
Tags are are really easy to add, just click on the Add a tag link, then start typing. You can add multiple tags to one item, or just add one. You add multiple by putting a comma between each tag.
Tips for good tagging:
Enjoy!

Tips for good tagging:
- Keep them consistent. If you write a lot of book reviews, tag each book review as "Book Review". Don't tag some "Reviews", and others "Books". Also, keep tags consistent in plurality - to a tag, Books is different than Book.
- Use multiple tags to group by general categories then by more specific ones too. For example: Book Review, Fiction, Science Fiction would give you three tags for one posting, but allow you to group that posting with general and specific posts that are related.
- Use tags to guide others to the different things you write about. This gives a type of theme to your Roundbook. Here are some examples of tags that allow you to use Roundbook as a way to create themes for what you share:
- Recipes
- Favorite Movies
- Favorite Music
- Quotes I Like
- Person's name (e.g. John, Sue)
Enjoy!
