How do I add tags?

Forum category
Okay, some time ago I finally decided to put my sermons on the computer instead of a spiral notebook, but I have not kept up with the tech world like some have. I would like to add another post but do not know how to add tags to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Discussion

When I search the articles to see what is new on the forum, they arranged under these headings:

Content_type Title Posted Tags Author Comments

Tags are a way to show a bit more about what the article might be about, but I have no idea how to add them and I’d like to know how. For example for this post it would have been nice to have the phrase “tech assistance please” show up in the tag.

Thank you John, I just wish someone who knew was able to answer.

JD-

If you’re talking about tagging entries on SI - those are assigned by the mods/filings editors/admins. I don’t think a registered user can tag their own posts, but you’d have to check with Aaron.

If you’re talking about tagging Word/Excel files, you can do that by going to the file, right clicking on it, then selecting Properties, then selecting Details, and finally adding your tag. I’ve never used it, but that is how it would work. There’s an attached image of what you should look for.

Hope that helps.

JD is talking about the Search page. There’s a field where you can enter a tag as part of your search criteria.

Currently, we only use tags on front page content: Filings and Articles and, occasionally, Event Blog posts.

It’s possible we might open up tagging for forum posts in the future, but there are some complications involved in doing that. The biggest is probably that if users make tags we’d get a lot of them that are redundant, spelled wrong, etc. So we’d need someone to be a pretty busy Tag Editor to keep it all making some sense.

But the ideal is probably to give posters the opportunity to select tags from those that already exist and submit a tag suggestion when there doesn’t seem to be one that fits.
