ADOBE CONTRIBUTE CS3 69 User Guide Adding tags to a blog entry You can use tags to enter one or more brief descriptions for your blog entries. Other users can search for blog entries that use those tags. For example, for a blog entry about the most strikeouts in a major league baseball game, you could enter tags such as "baseball," "strikeouts," "strikeout records," and so on. The following tag repositories are provided for you: • www.technorati.com/tag • http://blogs.icerocket.com/search?q= When the user enters a tag in the tag field for a blog entry, Contribute creates a tag link. After the user publishes the entry and clicks the tag link, a list appears in the embedded browser showing all the blog entries indexed by the tag repository using the same tag. When you create or edit a blog entry in the Pages panel, you can enter as many tags as you want for the entry, separated by commas. Note: You can set preferences to determine where tags appear with your blog entries, the tag prefix to appear before tags in a blog entry, and more. For more information on entering tags, see "Setting Contribute preferences" on page 28. To add tags to a blog entry: 1 In the Pages panel, select the desired blog entry. 2 Do one of the following: • Click the Tags field in the toolbar to place the pointer in it. • Select Format > Blog Metadata > Tags to place the pointer in the Tags field in the toolbar. 3 In the Tags field, enter one or more tags for the blog entry. You can enter as many tags as you want for an entry. Use commas to separate tags. Depending on the preferences you set for the Tagging option in the Preferences dialog box, Contribute adds the tags to the top or bottom of the blog entry, preceded by the specified tag prefix. 4 After you add the tags for the blog entry, you can edit it, publish it, or save it as a draft. Note: You can clear tags from a blog entry by deleting them from the Tags field, or, if you are editing the blog entry, by deleting the tag in the entry. After you publish the updated blog entry, the tag no longer appears with the blog entry on the blog. Assigning categories to a blog entry You can assign categories to blog entries to group similar blog entries together. For example, you can categorize blog entries related to current affairs or sports. You can assign more than one category to a blog entry. You can change or remove a selected category at any time.

For more information, review your blog host's documentation.
