Thing #17 - Tag! You're it!

Tagging sounds like an interesting addition to blogs. Checked out "tag cloud" at http://www.librarything.com/tagcloud.php, which was a visual depiction of a user's or site's tags. In this technique tags are weighted so that those that are used more often appear larger than those that are used less often.

Also got an idea of what this looks like, take a quick look at the Booked in Saint Paul blog http://bookedinstpaul.blogspot.com/, which had labels down the left side of the screen and at the bottom of each post.

To add labels to a blog post, look for the space at the bottom of the form marked Labels for this post. You can enter whatever labels you like, separating each label with commas. Labels can be a single word or multiple-word phrases.
