If you’ve been wondering about WordPress tags and how to use them, then browse over to Ninja Blog Setup where Jon Symons has a free ebook on What Every Blogger Ought to Know About Tags.

Summary:

  1. WordPress Tags are not the same as WordPress Categories
  2. Tag the nouns in your WordPress blog posts
  3. Tag non-textual elements
  4. Don’t over tag
  5. Tagging provides more routes into your content
  6. Tagging will pull in more readers from search engines

Jon has four free videos you can watch at his blog to help you get started using WordPress Tags:

  1. Video One: Add Tags to Your Posts
  2. Video Two: Have Tags Show Up on Your Posts
  3. Video Three: Add Tags to Your Site Using Sidebar Widgets
  4. Video Four: Add Tag Pages to your Sitemap

Now on to tagging those previous posts I haven’t tagged.
