How to Tag
Using a common tag will:
- make it easier for us to aggregate all the participating blogs; and
- make the campaign more visible on the WWW, specifically on blog search engines like Technorati
It's quite easy. Before posting your blog entry, cut and paste the following to the bottom of your entry:
<!-- technorati tags begin --><p style="font-size: 10px;" ds_newline="" align="right">technorati tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/takebackthetech" rel="tag" ds_newline="directory">takebackthetech</a></p><!-- technorati tags end -->
