Re: Can I manually tag entries?

Nigel Cannings <...> said:
At this time, all tags are automatically generated, and assigned to your
entries.

As we begin to explore deeper integration with blogging and other web
publishing platforms, we will seek to enable a mixture of manual and
automatic tagging.

For the most part, though, we hope that by tagging and linking in the
way we do, most people's needs will be met.

Bird hunting is a tag but wildfowling is not. They are similar but not the same. How do i resolve untaggednesses like this?

You have to have a minimum two occurrences of a topic for it to be tagged. In your space, Bird hunting appears twice, and wildfowling only once. Also, single word tags score far lower than two+ word tags, and so you will usually see more phrases and proper names than single word tags.

Over time you will see the algorithm changing to be more flexible around some of these issues, as it learns from what has gone before.

Of course, as you have in this case, you can add a tag manually!

Many thanks

If you log in to your home page and click on "Manage Tags", you will get a full tag management console that will allow you to add, manage and edit tags

At the moment, the people tags cannot be changed. If you want to add a person, the best way to do so is to blog about them and we'll pick it up
