Tags are keywords that you can add to an item on Gallery to help others find similar stuff when they search or browse. Here’s an example of how tagging works. Let’s say you are browsing the site and come across the Blockade Sidebar Gadget. After reading a little bit about this item, you think it reminds you of a game you like to play called "Tetris", so you add a tag "Tetris". Tagging Blockade as "Tetris" makes Blockade easier to find when someone else is looking for a game like Tetris, because now Blockade will be grouped with any other gadget that shares the "Tetris" tag.

So here are a few tips and best practices on tagging:

• Whenever you add a tag, please use a meaningful word that will help others find the item. Please do not add tags that are email addresses, url's or other irrelevant pieces of information, since these are not helpful to the rest of the Gallery community.

• You can add as many tags as you want. 

• If you find a tag that seems inappropriate, use the Report Abuse link to report it for review. Tags can be removed by our team if they violate the Terms of Use and Code of Conduct.

You might have noticed that the tags on each item's page are also links. If you click on it, you'll find other items with the same tag. If you want to see all the tags in a particular section of Gallery, you can do so when you browse (As an example, try browsing the Toolbar buttons section) Click the "Popular tags" link on the left side of the page to see the list. Then click a tag to find all the items in this section with this tag. We hope that you'll find this to be an easy way to discover new or related items on Gallery. :)
