Tagging Your Posts the Easy Way

[ Read all the previous posts in the Blogging 101 for Pastors series here. ]

If you’re already blogging and rolling along with a regular posting schedule, here’s an incredible tool for creating the code necessary for tags — a way of bookmarking sites and posts online that are shared with others.

It’s called the Free Tag Generator & Social Bookmark Creator.

This resource takes the hard work out of making the tags and gives you the code to do it. For instance, see the tags I made for this post below:

Del.icio.us Tags:

Add to: | Technorati | Digg | del.icio.us | Yahoo | BlinkList | Spurl | reddit | Furl

[By the way, if you like these posts, this series or this site, I’d REALLY appreciate you using these links to favoriti me in Technorati , or Digg me, or slap a del.icio.us bookmark for this site!]

Tagging your posts helps other people who are looking for topics that you blog on to find them.

Plus, you want people to use these “social networking” sites to bookmark and tag your posts — it’s the Internet’s way of wading through all the billions of pages to find relevant stuff on any topic.

Here are some definitions for concepts you need to know [via Wikipedia]:

Here’s some popular tagging, blog search and bookmarking sites to explore and get accounts at:

  • Del.icio.us — The popular bookmarking service I use to keep track of my web surfing
  • Technorati — The blog search engine. Log in and get an account and Favorite this blog (please)

  • Digg — A more techie-type community where you “digg” up stories and people vote on them

Also, see how I use Del.icio.us to show people what I’m bookmarking online … or read the previous how-to post on doing it for your site and thus, showing your own readers what you’re looking at online …
