Tagging your Entry: Why do it?

We have made a tonne of improvements to the BootsnAll tagging pages in the past few weeks.

Make sure when you are writing up a new post, or if you have not tagged your previous posts, that you do it. Click on "Manage" from your dashboard to find your posts and you can go back to old posts to add tags.

What are tags? - check that old post out to learn.

Here are some reasons that you should tag your travelblog posts:

1) Easier for other BootsnAll members to find your old posts. Let's say you are in London and you have a bunch of tips or info to share about your trip to London. If you tag your entry(s) with London, your post will show up on our London Tag page.

2) More people/traffic to your travelblog

3) It's easier than making categories if you have some keywords that are appropriate for an article, but most likely not enuff posts to warrant it's own category.

4) It's fun to tag an entry with words that you associate with that post

5) It's dead easy.

Tags versus Categories: What is the difference?

BootsnAll Travel Tags are for the your blog and the public. All tags from all BootsnAll Travel Blogs will be collected and organized on this page.

Categories are strictly for your Travel Blog. No one else can post to your personal travel blog categories.

What are Travel Tags?

You can give your travel blog entries "travel tags", which is like a keyword or group label. Travel Tags help you find posts which have something in common. You can assign as many tags as five tags to each entry, separated by commas.
