What Are Tags
Tags make it easier for readers to find posts about a specific topic on your blog. e.g. Tag your photographs with photography or your trip posts with travel.
How to Tag Posts
It’s easy! When you create a post, enter the tags in the empty tag box on the right side of the page. If you’re using the bookmarklet, go to “Advanced” to enter tags.
Do Tags Show up on All Posts
Yes, but only if you’re using certain themes. You can find themes that list tags with each post in the Theme Garden. Even if a theme doesn't show post tags, tags can still be searched.
