CS3382 - Week Four

There are two ways to let monitors get their want easily

• Categories
• Tags

Both are doing similar things - label and arranging, but categories are not tags. It is because categories is a main topics of your writing, and tags is the keywords of the writing. For example, just say, you are writing an article "Top Ten Mobile Phone". Its categories could be "Top Ten" and "Mobile Phone". However, if wanna more detail, it may be tagged - "Sony", "Samsung", "Nokia" also

There is an another different - Tag Cloud, which is for a visual representation. The most popular articles is which one on your website. However, should concern how much tag of your articles. If too more, would dilute your tag cloud, which would loss the use of its goals
