WebJunction

What is suggested below will work for any web page or message board or forum such as this, not just blogs. From Technorati:
<p> &quot;If your blog software doesn't support categories or you're not sure, you can still participate. To associate a post with a Technorati Tag all you have to do is tag your post by including a special link in the body of your post. Please note that two word tags should be joined by a &quot;+&quot;. For example:<br>
&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/[tagname]&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;[tagname]&lt;/a&gt;<br>
&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/[tagname]+[tagname]&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;[tagname tagname]&lt;/a&gt;<br>
&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/global+warming&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;global warming&lt;/a&gt;</p>
<p> The [tagname] can be anything, but it should be descriptive. Please only use tags that are relevant to the post. You do not need to include the brackets, just the descriptive keyword for your post. Just make sure to include rel=&quot;tag&quot;.</p>
<p> You do not have to link to Technorati. You can link to any web page that ends in a tag - even your own site! For example, these tag links would also be included:<br>
o &lt;a href=&quot;http://apple.com/ipod&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;iPod&lt;/a&gt;<br>
o &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;Gravity&lt;/a&gt;<br>
o &lt;a href=&quot;http://flickr.com/photos/tags/chihuahua&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;Chihuahua&lt;/a&gt;&quot;</p>
<p>The next step is to &quot;ping&quot; technorati with the tags you created. Go to: http://www.technorati.com/ping</p>
<p>and fill in the search form.</p>

Bill, thanks for enlightening me and the rest of our readers!

The cool thing about tagging posts is that they then get linked to the larger body of related information. My late-summer resolution is to start using tags myself.
