Permalink Reply by Joanne Riley on June 19, 2008 at 10:08am: I don't think you can tag specific discussion posts. The discussion thread creator can tag the whole discussion, but I think the idea is that all specific posts would be included in those tags.

You can tag discussions, photos, videos, journal posts and probably other elements, too.

Tagging is a next big thing for us to address here, to better organize the network and make its materials more accessible...; ▶ Reply to This

Someone (sorry I forget who) asked about how RSS works. Here's a brief video: http://www.commoncraft.com/rss_plain_english.

I also added the video over on the Video tab.; ▶ Reply to This

I also LOVE RSS - a great way to get a handle on the massive amounts of information out there on the web - start building your own "circle of the wise." Anyone who'd like to get some RSS feeds going can just respond here and I'll give you a hand. -- j; ▶ Reply to This

When you log on, click the "Members" tab. There is a little search box near the top of that page where you can hunt up a profile by name or by any other word in the profiles. This is a good way to find others with common interests!; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Annie Valk on June 25, 2008 at 8:49am: What would be the best way to post a link to an article? There was an interesting article in yesterday's Boston Globe, http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/articles/2008/06/24/neglected?s_cam...
that I thought other list members might want to see. There's not an obvious place to post something like this, though. Or am I missing something?
