What is the best way to "tag" my diary?

Tags are keywords that help label your diaries for easier searches. It is always best to select a few strong key words or names for your tag or tags. In the past many of us (me included) have enjoyed using tags for an extra punch line. This hurts our ranking with search engines and it can prevent people from finding what they need in searches at BlueNC.

Also, when writing about a person, please use their first and last name only. Elected officials should be tagged with first and last name, not with their title. Also, do not use middle initials, suffixes or periods. Please separate each tag with a comma.

Do not use creative tagging to add humor to a diary.

Most people follow these rules without being asked. Diarists who consistently muck up our key word tags with nonsensical phrases will find their diaries unpublished or placed in moderation.
