OK, so as a virgin blogger and user of other Web 2.0 technologies, I’m noticing more of an opportunity to “tag” items that I create. While this sounds intriguing…being able to categorize my content so that it may be better organized for my personal use AND used by others…I am a total novice on how to actually go about doing this efficiently.
So, I did a Google search on “Using tags”, “Tagging”, “Guidelines for Tagging”…
Oh…My…God… This search yielded soooooooo many sites that have been created to provide help to people like me. Where does one start? One thing I noticed was that the sites seemed to be oriented toward tagging in a particular context. There was a site for tagging to organize photos, a site for tagging in powerpoint, using Google tags, etc. What I was looking for was some kind of Tagging handbook…a widely accepted, general resource for use across various contexts. Does this exist?? Only in my dreams??
