  5. Tags can help categorize and sort blog entries. They may also be used to control where your blog entry appears on your site. To add a tag, start typing in the tag field. If the tag term already exists on your site, it will display in the dropdown. If the tag has not been created, it will create a new term that can be reused across the site once you save the page. To add multiple tags, click the "Add another item" button.
