Adding Tags

January 24, 2005 8:53 PM

Speaking of which, how do you add tags to a post? If I look at the list of posts I've made, and click on "add tags to this post", I just get what seems to be the regular comments page. (URL is different, though.) Am I just being obtuse?

Below your post, you should see a form input with a button that says add tags to post. Just type stuff on that line and press the button to save them.

Hmmm. I don't see that.

Actually, on second examination, it's on my old posts, but not on the one post I made since tags were introduced.

Does this mean that I can add tags to previously tagless posts, but I can't add more tags to posts that I've already tagged?

funny, I was just about to say the same thing. I can't seem to add any tags to posts I've already tagged. Is that on purpose?

From the horse's mouth.

You already added tags to that Carson post at the point of creation. I remember seeing them sunday morning.

Yeah, I did add tags to that -- I was just wondering, I guess, if adding tags is a one-time deal....i.e., if a post has tags on it, I can't add more? (and if that's the case, that's fine -- I was just curious when the system gave me the option to add tags.)

Thanks.

Oh yeah, like I said earlier, edit/delete/add will come soonish.

Ah, got it, thanks. (Missed the earlier thread...and neckro23's post.)

yeay! I missed the earlier reply too, and managed to mess up a couple of tags, so editing will be great. :)
