When you create a post in Wordpress, you can create “tags” for your posts. Every post in WordPress can be filed under one or more Tags. This aids in navigation and allows your post to be grouped with others of similar content.

Think of tags as page markers you might use to flick back to your favorite pages in a book. The tags don’t describe the book as a whole, instead they describe individual sections of the book.

Use the same tags over and over again. For instance, if you have a series of posts on writing articles, you could tag them as “journalism,” “writing,” “copywriting,” or other variations accordingly.

Tags are intended to be words or very short two or three word phrases. Tags appear under your posts (depending on the theme you have chosen for your blog). When a user clicks one of the tags they will see a list of all your posts with similar tags.

To create a “tag” for your post simply type a tag title into the Tag box (on the right of the post editing area) and click “add”.

To add an existing tag to your post click “Choose from the most popular tags” link. A list of all existing tags will appear in the Tag Box. Click on relevant tags.
