As an alternative to using Categories and Subcategories, Tags are a simple way of classifying and creating a relation between content with key words or key phrases. You're simply organizing (tagging) the content but without having to follow the strict hierarchy imposed by the usual Categories and Subcategories in Joomla. You can use tags in articles and media items to create content groupings that exist alone or in addition to Categories.

Tags exist as a predetermined list in Joomla, you do not make them up as you go like keywords used for serach engines.

To add a Tag to an article, click into the Tags area to the right of the Editor window:

add tag 1

 

Begin typing and you will see Tags begin to autofill as you type, select your desired Tag by hitting Enter/Return or clicking with your mouse:

add tag 2


Be sure to save your article after adding a Tag.
