Tags and other stuff

[annabtg]

I didn't change all mentions of Pharmaceutics in my posts to Pharmacy, after all. Because then my previous entry wouldn't make sense :p I just edited my profile.

Also, went back and added the 'uni stuff' tag at all uni-related posts since I finished my finals, which reminded me why I hate tagging my posts by subject: Do you, or do you not tag a post that contains only, like, one related sentence? And what about the rants about being stressed on the finals that would come and worrying about which department I'd end up at that I posted in the winter? Bah. That's why I usually only tag self-explanatory posts, with tags such as 'quiz', 'meme', 'icons'.

But some time ago I used the tags function at ksarasara's journal to catch up on something that was troubling her, and I thought, 'hey, that's handy', so I tried it. *shrug* I can always delete the tag if I decide I don't like it.

The TV has been transmitting the France-Greece friendly match all this time (we're currently losing 1-0) but obviously, I haven't been watching much.

I'm off to get some chocolate. (Not too much because I'm trying to lose these two kilos, but hey, I had a very light dinner. So there :p)

See ya,
Anna.

I don't use tages much cause I don't know what they do : /

They're basically so that you keep all related posts together. So if you have a bunch of posts tagged with the same tag, and then click on the tag, you get a list with all these posts.

Dunno if they can be used in any other way.

See ya,
Anna.

Ooh. Ok.

What are thow other things that like you to another site? They aren't cuts but you cilick them and you are at another page like another post another journal somewhre totaly different. Stuff like that.

Do you mean links? Like clicking here will take you to FF.net's homepage (http://www.fanfiction.net)?

They're done by typing
[a href="http://www.the_site_you_want_to_link_to.com"]the text that links to the site[/a]
only replace [ with < and ] with >.

Did that help?

See ya,
Anna.

P.S.:

I deleted and reposted the comment because I had forgotten the 'http://' part, and it doesn't work without it.

Ohhh. Ok. Heh, Thanks =] now I don't feel like such a LJ newb.

The only tagging I really use is for fanfiction and pictures. The rest of it doesn't seem worth organizing, or at least it requires too much forethought in organization, as you pointed out.

To Tag or Not To Tag ... therein lies the question

Aaaah, tags. See, I try and tag posts but the thing is ... how the heck am I supposed to keep track of which tags I've used? I realized not long ago that I had tags for all "kids", "kiddies", "children" and in all three cases they were being used to refer to either my own kids or my students ... so I had to go back, try and merge the tags and what not. If I were someone with really important stuff to say then tagging would have a point to it. I only do it because the post looks prettier with tags :P

Hm. I've never tried the tag before. And I hate to say my life isn't interesting enough to tag LOL, but most of my posts are unrelated to begin with.

I always forget to tag :( It's bloody annoying. And I'm too lazy to go back and edit stuff unlike you Miss Moony, lol ;)
