When you browse by tags, you're using a community-made indexing system. You and other people apply tags like index keywords to new content to make the content more findable. You look for content you want by clicking tag names to see a list of related content. Wherever you go in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Community, you'll see tags that group your content into categories.

Here are a couple of ways you can encounter tags:

Look for the tag cloud. When people in the community adds and tags content, the home page for a space shows something you'll probably find yourself using quite a lot: a tag cloud. A tag cloud visually groups tags so that you can look by popularity (more popular tags are in a larger font) as well as look by alphabetical order.

See the content associated with a tag. Hover over a tag to see the number of times it is assigned to content. Click the tag to see a list of the items it's assigned to.

While you're viewing the list of items associated with a tag, you can filter the list further. In the Tags box you'll see a cloud of the other tags that are applied to the items. As you click those tags, they'll be added to those you're filtering by (below, "leukemia", "childhood_cancer", and "caregivers"). The list of content items gets shorter as you add tags to the filter, showing only those items that include all of the tags you're filtering by.

To add tags to content, you just type in specific keywords at the bottom of the page in the Tags section. You may also click on any of the Popular tags to add them. Then after you submit your content, any time someone clicks on a tag you entered they will see your content and any other content that is using the same tag.
