Tags help you categorize and organize your blog posts. They make it easier for readers to find related content, improving their overall experience on your site. For example, if you have a cooking blog, you can tag posts with keywords like "vegan" or "desserts," allowing visitors to quickly locate all recipes that match their dietary preferences.
Creating tags
From Tags in your dashboard, you can create and manage your tags. The tags appear on your Post page under each blog post.
Each tag has a limit of 50 characters, and you can have a maximum of 30 tags per post. Tags need to be separated using commas.
To create tags:
- Go to Tags in your site's dashboard.
- Click + Create Tag.
- Enter your Tag Name and Slug in the fields provided.
Note: The slug field automatically populates based on what you add in the tag name field. - (Optional) Click Edit SEO Settings and customize the tag's SEO information.
