I am bad for that, i forget to tag and it takes so long to go back and tag them.

i will try harder

Yeah I’m going to have to sort mine out soon if I am to be a serious seller. Thanks for the advice

Good point Mel… I realised this also… I haven’t got round to tagging my work with the title, but will do soon.

Thanks Mel! I will do that as soon as possible.

Yes Mel… i think i am guilty of not tagging my work correctly!!!!

hear hear

Thanks for the heads up Mel, I dont have a shortage of tags generally but I will have to go back and check titles against tags.

Thanks

I’ve been slowly working on tagging my works better.

Thanks for the tip, Mel, shall rectify post haste!

It’s a shame that the search functionality doesn’t also search on the title and artist too. Such a simple thing, maybe someday…

I do agree Mel. It is very difficult to find stuff when its not tagged properly.
Sometimes I see things posted with no tags at all. That is really bad. Especially if its a great shot.

My tagging has improved with time. But your point is good. I’d not thought about tagging with the title. I’ve got some work to catch up on! Thanks

Thanks Mel, I didn’t realise this,I will have to check all my works AAaarrhhh!!! So I promise to Try to remember in the future:)

Oh, I didn’t realise the search wouldn’t pick up the title itself…. will have to go back and enter titles into the tags. Thanks Mel!

good speech Mel, you should be on the job creation commitee, ha ha .

I tag,but probably should expand the tag list on each photo. Thanks Mel.

Thanks Mel, I had not added titles into tags either….. sigh! Back to the drawing board to revisit all my images and tag them too!! A good reminder!

I’m bad for this,I added too many tags,I am slowy redoing them,but “titles,oh well’ back to the grind.
Thanks Mel.

How do you do tags with spaces in them?

tags work best as single words, I’ve found, spaces just end up giving you orphan letters. Even if you join words together with the underscore, then the person searching has to use underscores too, in my experience. Seems to work best for me with just the major words of your title, and any other descriptive words you can think of

Roger, search will find an artist, as long as you type their name/nick correctly. When I bought all those cards I was emailed a list of artist and title of the artwork, so I used that to find them again so I could list them for anyone who may be interested in seeing them larger.

Artists were easy enough to find, but then I had to go through all their portfolios to find the work, whereas if the title was tagged, I found it in one…..so much easier!

I will do that for now on Mel ,you are right ,it realy is a good idea ,much simple for finding what you are looking for.Thanks for the tip.

Haha at least you’ve got the idea, thanks for the handy tip!

It also helps to do a search after you tag to see if the work comes up. I spent yesterday tuning up my tags and doing the relevant searches.

Well put Mel.

Helpful tips, thanks Mel.

Thanks for the advice, but please don´t tear your hair out, that can be really painful.

Keep your hair intact! Tags are vital tools. They help sell your creations.

Someone sent me a BubbleMail the other day suggesting that I add tags to all my work, so I did. :) Thanks.

Guilty as hell on that one ,i too will try to lift my game thanks

thanks mel I am getting started lots of work to do now.

Thanks for the tip Mel.

Thanks for the tips…so how do I add different catagories please..where do I start!!
