Quick Blogcast tags help visitors find your blog posts and provide a way of organizing your blog posts beyond categories. Tags complement categories. While you may have a few main categories, you'll likely have many different tags that describe various aspects of a category.

The Manage Tags page lists all the tags used in the selected blogcast site. From this page, you can view tags, view entries associated with a tag, create a new tag, and delete tags.

You can add new tags on the Manage Tags page, or you can add a new tag as you are creating a new entry.

NOTE: You cannot use special characters in your tag name, but you can use a period (.).
