I've been blogging for a few years now and only recently it's occurred to me why I need to label my posts. If I don't label I can't find something when I look back of my earlier posts. If you don't label properly, like I hadn't been doing, you have to go back over nearly each and every post.
Can you hear my head banging into the wall?! Mr. Cowboy thought I'd lost my mind.
So hopefully from now on I'll be labeling heavily.
Well, Good!! I label and still can't find a post sometimes. But honestly, I am disappointed sometimes when I visit a blog and there is no label gadget on the side bar so I can see other posts about the subject being posted.

I usually use the search box at the top left of blogger to find things. I guess I thought everyone did that.
ReplyDeleteDid any one ever tell you that banging ones head against the wall only causes headaches....
ReplyDeleteLabels are certainly handy - provided you remember to label your posts (an ongoing struggle with me).
ReplyDeleteI stopped labeling my posts when I realized that you can search ANY blog for ANY thing by typing in a couple of "search" words in the top left corner at the top of the blog - next to the white "B" in the orange box. That's how I find stuff on my own blog when I need to link back to a previous post - ;))
ReplyDeleteI label a lot so I can see posts about a particular project all at once and can see the progression. It also helps me name it the same thing every time I talk about it. The search also helps, especially when you forget to label a post.
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing for a long time. I am now going back and adding labels. Ugh!
