10 Things You Can Do With Jiglu Tags - #7. Manually assign tags

(I didn't realise till I started writing this series quite how difficult it would be not to start every paragraph with the word 'So'... But anyway...)

You've seen already how easy it is to add, edit and delete tags. Since our April update you can now also manually assign tags to tagged pages. If you've got a site using Jiglu Tags then log on to Jiglu and select the 'Pages' tab at the top of the page. Here's where you can see all the pages that are being tagged and what those tags are. Click on the 'Edit tags' button next to a page and you can assign your own tags.

There's two ways of doing this:

• If you know what tags you want to use then you can just type them into the input box. Each tag is separated by a comma and underneath the input box you'll see a summary from the system of how it understands what you've typed.
• If you're not sure of a tag but you think it's there already then click on the 'Browse tags' button. This will open up the tag selector, where you can choose from all the tags available, either by paging through them or by using the search box.

When you save the tags for this particular page the system will automatically create those whose names were in the input box and it didn't find already in the system.

In the future we're looking at picking up automatically any tags we find from the feed on your site. You can also update them using our new tagging API - more of which next week.
