Quick update on the use of tags in the blogs area. Tags are a great way to help readers find your blog when they browse a specific topic. It also helps people find a relevant topic through Google/etc. So we encourage everybody to use at least one tag in their blog, as it will help your views!
On the flip side, overuse of tags can be quite a problem. First and foremost, it makes the tags system worthless, as people who expect to find a certain topic of information find some other random blog instead. It also means search engines don't use tag pages in their results.
So if you use a tag, please make sure it is also in the text of the blog itself, and is actually relevant to the blog. Also, please keep tagging reasonable overall, and know that we may remove tags if we feel they do not represent the blog.
If you have any questions about tagging, please reply below!
