How To Add Tags
Showing 1 - 3 of 3 Comments
Tags are keywords or index terms, they enable your palette or pattern to be searched with other words than just the title or username.
example: The tag 'swirls' enables to search patterns like this OR search multiple tags OR tag+creator, or tag+date range, tag+hex code... - SO USEFUL!
Tags can also be searched in the pattern colorizor. So tag you templates so they won't get buried!
>> CL TAGS MUST BE MIN. 3 CHARACTERS (or you can't search)
>> Tags are separated by commas
>> Tags can be several words long
>> CL tags differentiate plural and singular forms
(It won't work if you've tagged 'flower' and search for 'flowers' - or the other way around - might as well add both "flower" and "flowers")
PS: That 'Add a Tag' button does not work yet
Tag input areas are available in ALL editors, Photocopa, Copaso, Seamless...
PS: if the above screenshot does not show - try this one
After adding the tags they are visible in the sidebar (like in the 1st screenshot above).
>> See an example of a pattern with many tags (look in the sidebar)
Adding irrelevant tags or 'too many' is considered abuse.
Websites also has something similar to tags called "webpage keywords" - If a website adds too many, it can get banned by search engines!
