Using This Blog: Labels

To enhance the usefulness of this blog to readers, I will from time to time explain some of the features available.  Today, I will tell you about the LABELS function.

The labels represent topics or subjects discussed in the body of the text of a post.  They are keywords which trigger search engines to find the individual posts and display them as responses to web searches.

On this blog, the labels appear in two places: 1. directly under each post is a list of keywords specific to the post, and, 2. at the end of the display page,  following the list of blogs and webpages I often view, is a complete list of all the labels used in this blog since its inception.  Clicking on a label word in either listing will display the posts which feature or mention that topic.  Some labels have only one related post while some have as many as thirty.  For those with multiple postings, you can view more posts by clicking on Older Posts.

In keeping with the nature of this blog, the topics discussed have been quite eclectic.  A sampling of labels from the list includes: archeology (3), Barack Obama (8), sexuality (10), manure (1), film commentary (36), death (4), cloning (1), Mr. Rogers (2), light bulb jokes (30), baptism, (5), and sports (10).
