Assigning keywords to your post

Keywords are words that help describe the subject of a posting. Assign keywords to your article, photo or review posting to make it easier for readers to find the article.

Once you assign a keyword to a posting, that keyword is included in the list of keywords for your blog, and can be selected for use in other postings.

Edit or delete keywords from your blog using the Keywords page on the Post tab of your Publisher Control Panel.
