| Tags are just
key words or phrases you can use to identify your posts, so at any time
you can easily display everything you've shared about a certain topic.
You
can add tags to anything you share on Multiply - a photo album, video,
blog, whatever. For example, if you add the tag "Florida" to photo
album, then whenever you want to see everything you've posted about
Florida, you'll be able to click on that tag on your Home page to see
that photo album and anything else you've tagged with "Florida". You
can add as many tags to your posts as you'd like.
When you visit
someone's Multiply site, you'll see all of their tags listed. Click on
a tag to see everything that person has shared about that particular
topic.
The "Popular Tags" box on the message board will show you the most common tags being used by people in your network. |
All of the above information has been taken directly from the Multiply FAQ page.
If you look just beneath this text, you'll notice the word "tags" in gray and to the right of it will be the same word again in blue. (I used "tags" as the tag for this post, since it's about tags. Dizzying isn't it?) If you click on that blue word "tags" you'll be taken to a page that shows all of the posts in this group that have been tagged with that same word.
If you're making a post, at the bottom of the box where you enter your text there will be that word "tags" again with a box to the right of it that you can enter the tags. Just beneath that it says, "
Click to insert:" and all of tags that have been used so far in that group (or in your site) will be listed there. This is a handy way to make sure you use the same tags over and over again, rather than having several tags that mean the same thing (like: cat, kitty, kitty cat) which makes tagging less effective.
