What does 'Tags' mean? Tags are just key words about your blog.

Why do you need to add tags? Some people may need to search for a topic before they begin writing their blog. Your tags will help them to do so.

How do you add tags to your blog? Just below the 'Entry' (where you're writing your blog), you can see the 'Tags' box. You can pick some key words from your blog and put them in the box.

My tags for this blog are: tag, blog.
