Now, when writing a article, you will have the option to list keywords. Keywords will help users find your article by being listed at the bottom of each article under Tags. This is multi-purpose, it will also be listed under the meta information for search engines, it will assist in searches, and it will show up in technorati's database.

When selecting tags, be careful to list specific terms that people might search for. One or two word combo's are best. Think about what the user would be trying to find and look at some of the tags used on other posts for examples. Keep them short and sweet.

Can you give me some examples of tags to put on a couple of articles i have written? I will be out of school for the year this Thurs. and able to finish up the image criteria and add/edit some tags.

I added many tags to the articles when I was editing images. Let me know if I went overboard or if I am right on with the History of the Ford Mustang article.

Yea, that's alot. Also their are some formatting tags you need to remove (from copy and pasting). I think it'll probably be best if you make an article for each bodystyle and then make one master article with a summary and links to each.

I copy/pasted the text to microsoft word then copy/pasted back to WordPress. Shouldn't the format be OK with that?

I will get on splitting it up and resubmitting them together in this order:

1) Ford Mustang History
2) Classic Mustang History
3) Mustang II History
4) Fox Body Mustang History
5) SN-95 Mustang History
6) New Edge Mustang History
7) SN-197 Mustang History

In case people just browse through the articles altogether, they will be able to see that they are all there. And I will link them to one-another.

Yea, as long as the formatting tags are gone it's all good. When your inserting tables, div's, style tags, etc. into the posts it can really screw up the layout. Don't get me wrong, you can use div's and tables if you want, so long as you use them on purpose and know what your doing. I'll probably put up a post about how to use tables to format data.

I don't know how to link or reference the new articles I made to the "mother" history article. Also, I am 100% certain these new articles should be formatted correctly. Please tell me they are!

Close! Almost perfect!

A couple div tags causeing a centering issue at the bottom of the articles, and the tags are too specific.

mustang history, new edge mustang history, 1999-2004 mustang history

How many people would do a search for "1999-2004 Mustang History"? Not many, I would instead change that tag to "1999-2004 mustang" and change the "new edge mustang history" to "new edge mustang" and also add a tag for "new edge"

OK, and I will go through some old tags made and make them more search friendly.
