Searching Content is Much More Natural and Easier here on the New Site!

[Jason Edge]

Charles just asked an excellent question on tags..since we had to actively search them out on the old site and thought I would share my reply in a separate blog:

Tags and searching are much more natural here on the Ning hosted site.

Instead of having to go through multi steps to "show all tags" and squint thru hundreds of tags and hope you get the right one as we did on the Multiply site,  you just put the term you want to search for up in the 'Search" bar in upper right hand  of screen. It will pull up all content posted either with the word in the Title or with a word it was "tagged" with.

For example if I search for "Tire" I will find the "Original Tires Used on 1963 & 1964 Cadillacs" post which was tagged with the word Tire (and had Tire in the title)

...but it will also find the blog titled "Tires and rear windows" which did not have a "tag" but it found it from the word in the title of the post.

Just to add, when you all post new content whether it be message blogs, pictures, videos,  photos, etc, note the it is encouraged to put key words you want people to be able to use to find your post down in the 'Tags' field at bottom.
