Sharing a module blog among several staff and want to organise your posts?

Use Categories Tags! You can set these up any way you want. The categories tags can be topical or by individual. The latter is particularly useful if topics within a module differ among lecturers. Remember, the module blog is a group blog. Do keep your colleagues in the loop about this collaborative resource. Oh, and you can use multiple tags for individual posts, for those posts which defy categorisation or fall into more than one area.

To create a category tag

1. From your blog, click My Blog Dashboard, under Common Tasks. Your blog might will look different from the screenshot below, as this was from a previous version of Community Server.


2. From the blog's Control Panel, click Manage Content, followed by Tags/Keywords.



3. In the Tags/Keywords page, click Create New Tag.



4. A pop-up Tag Editor will appear. Fill in the tag Name, and check Enabled. Click Save.




5. You've created a tag. Repeat from the top to create more tags.


To post to a tag

1. From the Write a Blog Post (or Edit Post) page, click the Options tab. (If this is not visible, check Advanced Options first.)



2. Check the tag (or tags) that the post will come under. You can return to the blog entry. Once you click Publish, the entry will be added to the chosen tag (or tags).
