Tags are simply keywords that you, as a user, can associate to a piece of content that you create. Within the community, you can tag a discussion, a question or a photo. For example, if you post a photo taken in New York City, you can tag it as “NYC,” “New_York,” or even “The_Statue_of_Liberty” if appropriate. (Note: If your tag has more than one word, you should place an underscore between the words: “baseball_tickets” instead of “baseball tickets”).

How you choose to tag your content is completely at your discretion (as long as it adheres to the Member Guidelines). However, tagging is most effective when the content is tagged appropriately and correctly. You can tag a piece of content with as many different tags as necessary. When users search for content, they can find your content based on how you tagged your items.

To search commonly used tags, select “Tags” from the Browse dropdown in the header.  Click on one of the tags in the "tag cloud" to view content associated to that tag.
