Tag it baby!
So now you should have your network started, and should have a completed profile. Next you can begin to interact with the community site itself by using Tags. Tags are essentially keywords that you as a member can add to content on the site. Almost all the content in all of the community can be tagged, and once something has a tag, it becomes easier to search on that content in the future.

Here we can see a tip that hasn't been tagged yet. I simply add a keyword for the tip in the tag field in the lower right of the page, and now the content has been tagged. Why is this cool you may ask? Well if we select the tags link in the upper right of the site, we'll see why.

Here we have the tag cloud, which shows the tags being used on the site, and the larger the font on the tag, and the bolder the font, the more that tag has been used. We can select a tag, and it filters through all the content on the site, and returns all the items that have share that tag. It's a pretty cool way to classify and search on content in the site, but only works if you as a member use it. So go out there and start tagging items you find helpful if they haven't been already.
Now you're cooking with oil man! So get in there and start being an active member of our community, it will only get better if we make it better!
Till Next Time,
Cheers,
