FREE Tag Templates & Examples

Tags are simple pieces of data — usually no more than one to three words — that describe information on a document, web page, or another digital file. Tags provide details about an item and make it easy to locate related items that have the same tag. File cabinets require that you categorize your files using one category per file system. Tags take advantage of computers and don't force you to remember exactly what you were thinking about when you first identified the item.

Tags can be used on any digital object. Any information that can be stored or referenced on a computer can be tagged. Tagging may be used for the following:

• Digital photos: Many photo management programs offer tag support.
• Address books: Add a field for tags in your address books. Then, whenever you want to send a message to your entire family, search on the "family" tag.
• Web pages and blogs: Many blogs use tags.
• Taxonomies: Some sites use tags as navigation in tag clouds, which are visual representations of a list of items. The terms may change in size depending on their popularity.
• Social media and folksonomies: By allowing other people to tag your site with their own tags, you find out what they think of your pages.

The easiest way to use tags on a website is to use software that supports it. Examples include Google Tag Manager, Microsoft's Tag Explorer or Word, open-source TagSpaces, and Adobe Dynamic Tag Management. There are many blog tools that support tags, and some CMS software programs support them. Manually building tags is possible, but it takes a lot of work.

Here is how you can use rubber bands to take off tags from your bag:

• Place the ink cartridge of the tag face-down. 
• Pull the part of the clothing with the tag away from the rest of the clothing. 
• Slip a rubber band around the pin of the security tag. 
• Hold the larger part of the ink tag with one hand.
• Pull the pin off with the other hand.
