I recently had a client ask me to remind him what tags are and why they are useful. Tags are something you will find in blog software like WordPress, Blogger and even content management software like Joomla and Drupal.

When you write an article, you place it in a category.  A category is a general concept that the post fits, such as healthcare or IT.  A tag is more specific and helps people find hot or popular topics…such as Apple iPad, hospital care, influenza…etc.  In programs like WordPress your tags will actually create pages titled with this tag keyword…and showing only stories related to that keyword…great for search engines and for giving people a way to scout hot topics.

Check out the tags I used on this article and see how this could be useful for you and your readers.

For users of WordPress, its time once again to upgrade your software.  This is not a critical update, but one in which some security holes and tightening up of the ship are occurring.

For those using any version of 2.8.x this upgrade is as simple as clicking the link that should be appearing at the top of your program.  If you need any assistance, feel free to contact our support desk [(828) 551-2114] and we can help.  If you are running a version of WordPress that is older than 2.8 there is a major security flaw in this software.  You may want to contact us to assist you in upgrading to the latest version.

Here is the link to the upgrade description on the WordPress site.

Okay, so Buck Rogers may not be born yet, but your computer has been able to speak to you for a while.  Unfortunately, it has mostly been talk provided by broadcasts or files provided by webmasters who want to annoy you with ads.

But it looks like we can all make our websites chat about who we are now, without hiring a million dollar voice.  The technology continues to evolve, but take a peek at WebReader Beta.  With a free plugin for WordPress and Blogger, you might soon turn your readers into listeners.  Beware though, this is ad sponsored if you’re not willing to pay for it…and restrictions do apply.
