**Vanity- request to PLEASE add keywords when you post a thread
10-6-08

Posted on 10/06/2008 10:16:09 AM PDT by STARWISE

With the deluge of threads being posted, and slated to increase greatly as the election heats up, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE .. especially if it's a news/breaking thread ... add the appropriate keywords to your posting form.

So, if someone's looking for the latest string of "Obama" or "Sarah Palin" articles, let's say, they just click on that particular keyword at the top of the page, and those articles containing the keyword will come up chronologically.

Thank you!

Popular keyword options at the top of the main page:

~~~~

*110th *2008 *2008polls *ayers *bailout *barackobama *biden *bo *democrat *democrats *demron *economy *election *elections *issues *mccain *obama *obamatruthfile *palin *radicalleft *sarahpalin *swingstates *vanity *weatherunderground *youtube

“I’ve been adding keywords to threads I see without them as well, as I’m sure many have also been doing.”


I’m glad that you do, I am only now catching on to what keywords are.

Will you give me a simple explanation of what they are and their purpose?

If this poll is true, it is proof positive that the American intellect has plummeted to an astonishing new low!

When you post a thread, you have a space for topics
... news/activism, constitution/conservatism. politics/elections, etc. and keywords, in addition to the other blank spaces for the author, date, source, and url link, etc.

Keywords can (and hopefully do) link to the ‘popular keywords’ at the top of the front page, and are active links to the articles using those keywords.

You’re not limited to just those posted keywords at the top (as you’ll note when you check out the various threads), but those are determined to the most used currently.

They help immeasurably when you’re looking for threads about a specific topic ... especially now and going on into the rest of this election cycle, when the news and threads will be increasing exponentially.

List this article on additional keyword pages.
Choose up to 4 additional keywords.
Each keyword must consist solely of alphabetic characters
A through Z and digits 0 through 9
and may not contain spaces or other punctuation elements.

You should add "poll" to the keywords list.

It’s pretty cool when before ya update keywords, other folk already have.. It’s painless, MOds can always pull them if necessary to maintain order. :-)

I have a few to spare if anyone needs them

Hope

I can’t add keywords or topics to articles this morning - is there a problem with the system or have keywords been disabled?
