What Are Tags?

Tags are one-word descriptors that you can assign to your blogs, pictures, and clippings.

Tags are also keywords you choose to help organize your stuff on this site. You can assign as many tags as you like and rename or delete them later.

How Do I Add Images, Mp3s and Videos?

You can add images or media to your profile and your blog posts by using the image and media buttons in your profile text editor. To embed a video in your entry, click on the Media image at the top of your in-line editor (left) to launch the Media popup. Enter the URL of a video hosted at YouTube or elsewhere, set the dimensions you prefer for your video display (we recommend 425 x 344 pixels maximum) and click the INSERT button. Most media will work fine with the FLASH setting on the popup select menu, but choose another format as needed. If you get really ambitious, feel free to fill in the "Advanced" tab of the popup, as well.

To embed a music or sound file in your entry, click on the Media image to launch the Media popup. Enter the URL of the file, set the width dimension you prefer for your player (we recommend 350 pixels maximum) and click the INSERT button.

Please note that videos hosted at YouTube do not remain available indefinitely. Nobody likes broken links, so you will want to check your entries frequently.

Be sure you are not infringing on any copyrights when you add text, images or media to an entry. You can find definitions of copyrights on various web dictionaries and wikipedias, and we urge you read such definitions before you post entries here.
