# Tags | Website Manual

**Tags**

Tags are optional labels for the details of a post, like a suburb, a product name or a type of job.

Coming soon

We are recording a new video for this one.

## Before you finish

**Not seeing your change?**

Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).

If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.

### Good to know

Tags are optional labels for the details of a post, like a suburb, a product name or a type of job. Categories act as the main sections of your blog, and tags work more like an index.

Reuse existing tags rather than typing new ones with slightly different spelling, or you end up with several tags that mean the same thing. Plenty of themes don't display tags at all, so find out whether yours does before spending time on them.

### Another post. Does it connect to anything?

Your website should be handled. Not handed back to you.
