How to tag your posts

From now on, you need to start tagging your blog posts with tags (words) that describe what they are.
Here's how:
1.



While you're viewing your blog, click "Design" in the top right corner (you have to be logged in to your Google account to see it)


2.




Over on the left, click "Posts"


3.



Click on the little box next to one of your posts.



4.




Then click the dropdown above your posts that looks like a little price tag.



5.




Click "New Label" and make a label called "Classwork."
  • Digital Graphics should make a label called "Reviews"
Each time you make a new post, give it a label.  You will have several for "Classwork," but you will have others.  Examples might be "Extra Credit," "Project," "Just for Fun," etc.
  • Digital Graphics will have several called "Reviews," but you will have others.  Examples might be "Review the Reviews" "Photos," "Videos," etc.

 6.



Next, over on the left again, click "layout"


 7.



 On your layout, click "Add a Gadget"


8.





Under "Basics" scroll down until you see "Labels"
Click the Plus Sign then click "Save."

9.




Click "Save arrangement" at the top right

10.




Click "View blog" at the top.


Now, when someone goes to your blog and they want to see your latest project, they can just click the project label and it will list all the blog entries you gave that label to.

Feel free to add more gadgets, however, make sure you always keep the Label gadget at the top of the list of gadgets.
