Q: What are blog tags?

Created by Ascend 7 Help, Modified on Mon, 15 Feb 2021 at 12:53 PM by Ascend 7 Help

A: Blog tags are keywords or phrases that can be added to a blog post. These enable visitors to your website to easily search through all your blog material by selecting a tag that is most relevant to the material they are looking for.

Multiple blog tags can be added to a single blog post which allows you to sort your blog posts into multiple categories.

How do I add blog tags?

  1. Log into your website dashboard.

  2. Firstly navigate to your Blog under Editor mode

  3. On the blog page either click the ‘Write new post’ button or click into an already created blog post.
     
  4. If you are making a new post, enter the blog title and click save. Then continue and scroll down to the bottom of the page, here you will see a textbox with the heading “What is this blog post about”.
