I am new to Hubpages. What is a "tag" and how do I create one?
On creating a new Hub at the bottom of the first page, it reads to create 2 tags.
Hi epichey, tags are words that you will use in your article. For instance you would use marbles as a tag if you were writing an article on how to play a game of marbles. also it is good to put tag words in the 1st sentence or two of your text, I think it helps search engines find you better. Keeping with the topic of ;marbles; you may use words like game, playing, kid's games, competitions..I try to use 6 - 10 tags, you can add or remove tags anytime during edit. After you enter a tag hit enter and a new box will open so you can enter a new one and so on. When you are done adding tags simply hit continue. I trust this helps. Welcome to Hubpages.
A tag is a word or words used to connect to the content of what it is you're writing about. Like if you were writing about a book, you tags might include the words "books", the author's name, the title of the book and a couple of the main characters in the book.

What's the difference between keywords and tags?This is a question only a newbie to computers would ask, I'm sure, but I bought my very first computer a little over a year ago and hope you could write a hub-or an email-about this. I've looked at some answers given by other hubbers and am...

Hi HP, I was laying in bed last night thinking about hubbing (as you do, lol) and I thought it would be really useful if readers could subscribe to an RSS feed for one of my article groups rather than just latest, best or hot, since I'm starting to promote my RSS feeds. I'm writing on very diverse...

Ok, I did look at the FAQ's before coming here, and I found a hub on tags and read it. But it seemed to contradict another article I read. I also read through the comments and noticed that another hubber posted my question 4 months ago and has yet to get a reply so I am going to ask...
