Labels in Blogger

Katherine, over at Making A Mark (an art blog you should all be reading - she has masses of great information), has a very informative article about using labels in Blogger. Despite hosting The Diary Project for 8 months over on Blogger, I'd honestly never noticed the little labels box before Katherine pointed it out. I'm a bit rubbish at using tags - I always forget them over in Livejournal and I only use them in Flickr because they make them so very obvious - but I can certainly see how useful they are: not only can they improve your visibility but they can also make it a lot easier for you to search for older posts that you might want to link back to.

So I've just mass edited the Diary Project posts to include the labels 'Diary Project', envelope, drawing and art. Not very helpful in terms of separating them out but it might improve the project's visibility in Google and on Technorati. I'll go and look at the posts individually when I have the time to see if there are more individual categories that I could add. If you subscribe to the Diary Project and it republishes all the posts because of this, then I apologise.
