There are some fabulous examples of the use of Tags in the Projects section which have made me promise to try harder to add them to my own projects.
Some hints on their use:
Each time you press the space bar you will have a new tag. If you want to keep words together you need to hyphenate them. (See Pennifold's SEWING-MACHINE-COVER)
Valentine is a great tag - just click on one of them and see how many projects come up! Similarly ith.
Before you add a tag, have a look what other people have used. Click on a few to test how successful they are.
If you keep the tag simple, it is more likely to be successful!
Feel free to add your own tips in this thread.

You can add them if you edit the posts - might be worth a try to see how they work.
rescuer did a wonderful tutorial on how that's done, it you need to refer to it.

I noticed that some folks were adding their avatar and that is not necessary to add as a tag. If you click on your avatar at the top where it says Hi jrob (or yours, of course) you will see the "home" symbol then your avatar name again. Click on it and you will see ALL of your comments, questions (from the Q&A section) and then ALL of your projects. Neat, huh?
You can even click on the avatars of others to find their projects all together.

The tags are so helpful. Thank you for the reminder. specially the one that every space bar creates a new tag, which can create some crazy results.

The tip on using hyphens is a very good one. Not using those has produced quite a lot of useless tags, like "a", "in", "the"

I do wish all Cuties would take the time to read these important tips.
There many things to learn in the Q&A section too.

I thought this thread was worth reviving. Please remember that a tag should help people find all similar items so we need to be simple and consistent with their use. Otherwise the tag is useless.

I think the most useful ones are those about the Project (purse, bag, doily, quilt, and so on), sort of design (ith, cross-stitch, redwork, appliqué, etc)
You can use those for a search using

xxx=the tag you want to have a look at.

Also if you string things together like "green-fsl-babyoutfit" you would not find them under either one of those intended tags. They need to be separated. One would have to know the whole string in order to be able to find it.
