    When adding tags to your posts, is it better to add tags for every single keyword you can think of, or keep it down to a select few?

    To be honest, I'm not really a firm believer in the "tagging" system - however, when I do use it, I tend to use a selection of keywords that can be related to the topic the most directly.

    I don't use the tag system, kind of find it useless imo. I'd guess though if needed and I was making an article on Photoshop tutorials I would highlight the most important things, such as; Tutorial, Photoshop, CS4, Text Effect, etc.

    I don't really use the tagging system, but when I do I just try to use a few select keywords that describe the topic.

    I really only turned on the tagging system because of a couple of our forums. In those forums, I wrote some code to grab a couple of the relevant things for tags (artist name and show date), but I let the users add other relevant tags (type of show or venue). So, I'm one of those that believes it's better to have a couple of relevant tags rather than tagging every single word from the title.
