Tags in Posts

You may have noticed a new “Tags” section at the bottom of each post. Mugs noticed:

The endless tags are driving me mad.
What is the point of them? Just curious.

Manrymission.com is powered by Wordpress, a blogging platform. I am currently using version 2.5. When version 2.3 came out late last year, Wordpress added tags functionality. Tags are basically a list of keywords for a specific post or even for an entire website. They are used to aid in searching and finding content on the web. In my understanding, they are different than the categories I already use. Categories are used to describe the main theme of a particular post.

Anyway, I have added the Tags section as an experiment. For the next few weeks, I’ll watch the traffic on the site to see if adding Tags has any impact on the number of visitors.
