Navigate to **Content > Blog posts** 2. Click **Add blog post** or edit an existing article 3. Find the **Tags** section 4. Select existing tags or create new ones 5. Save the article ### Adding Multiple Tags Articles can have multiple tags. Select all relevant tags that apply to the content. **Example:** An article about "Best Cleaning Kits for AR-15s" might have tags: - Maintenance - AR-15 - Accessories - Guides --- ## Creating New Tags Tags are created from the article editor — there is no separate tag management screen: 1. In the **Tags** panel, type a new tag name in the search box 2. Click **Create tag "your tag"** 3. The tag is saved and applied to the article The create option only appears when your text matches no existing tag. If you type "guide" and a "Guides" tag already exists, you'll see that tag in the list instead — select it rather than creating a near-duplicate. Tags are shared across all blogs in your store, so a tag created on one blog's article is immediately available on every other. --- ## Tag URLs Tagged article pages are accessible at: ``` /blogs/{blog-handle}/tagged/{tag-handle} ``` **Example:** `/blogs/news/tagged/announcements` The tag page is scoped to one blog: it shows the articles **in that blog** carrying that tag. The same tag on an article in a different blog lives at that blog's own tag URL. --- ## Managing Tags ### Viewing Tag Usage Tags appear on: - Article edit pages - Article listings and article pages in your theme, if the theme displays them - Tag filter pages Themes receive tag **names** (for example `AR-15`), while tag URLs use the handle (`ar-15`). ### Removing Tags from Articles 1. Edit the article 2. Click the X on a tag to remove it 3. Save the article Removing a tag from every article does not delete the tag itself — it stays available in the tag list for future articles. ### Tag Handles Tags automatically generate URL-friendly handles: | Tag Name | Handle | |----------|--------| | "Product Launch" | `product-launch` | | "How-To Guides" | `how-to-guides` | | "AR-15" | `ar-15` | --- ## Tag Display in Themes Your store's theme controls how tags appear to customers: ### On Article Pages Tags typically display: - Below or above the article content - As clickable links - With visual styling from your theme ### On Blog Listing Pages Tags may appear: - On article cards - As a tag cloud - In a sidebar filter --- ## Best Practices ### Naming Tags - Use clear, descriptive names - Keep tags concise - Be consistent with naming conventions - Use sentence case or title case consistently ### Tag Strategy | Approach | Example | |----------|---------| | **Topic-based** | Guides, News, Reviews | | **Product-based** | Handguns, Rifles, Ammunition | | **Content type** | How-To, Announcement, Update | ### Avoid Over-Tagging - Use 3-5 relevant tags per article - Don't add tags just for the sake of it - Focus on tags that help readers find content ### Consistency - Decide on a tag naming convention - Stick to existing tags when applicable - Avoid creating duplicate tags (e.g., "How To" vs "How-To") --- ## Customer Navigation When a customer clicks a tag: 1. They see all articles in that blog with the tag 2. Articles are sorted by publication date (newest first) 3. They can click other tags to further explore --- ## Related Documentation - [Managing Articles](/blogs/articles) - Create and edit articles - [Blog Categories](/blogs/creating-blogs) - Organize posts into blogs - [SEO](/marketing/seo) - Search optimization Source: https://docs.firearmcart.com/blogs/tags/index.mdx
