Tags are labels or keywords that are used to group pictures, videos, and albums. You can add tags to individual photos and videos as well as to the album. This is great when your album contains a variety of pictures and videos. For example, your Greece album can be tagged "Greece, travel, vacation, 2009," while your photo of the Parthenon at sunset in it can be tagged "Parthenon, Acropolis of Athens, sunset, temple, Greece." Notice that you can have spaces between tags, such as "Acropolis of Athens." You can use a phrase or a single word as a tag, So get creative and make your own unique tags, such as "Baby Jenny Month 1" or "Scenes of the West."

To add a tag, open the album or click on the photo or video and then select add tags. Start typing descriptive words or phrases and separate each tag with a comma. Click apply to keep the changes. You can find a list of interesting tags here

A caption adds context to a picture. Let's say you have a photo of a rose from your garden. You might caption it: A beautiful rose from my garden. But you might tag it: rose, flower, garden, red, macro, award winning. Those tags allow you to associate your rose photo with other pictures that share the same tags.

All of your tags get fed into our search engine, making it easier for people to find your pictures, videos and albums. Tagging also gives you the ability to quickly group photos that belong to separate albums but share similar themes, such as "flowers" "my pets" and "vacation."

To add a tags, open the album or click on the photo or video and then select 'add tags' in the panel to the right of the image(s). Start typing descriptive words or phrases and separate each tag with a comma. Click apply to keep the changes.

When you click on one of the tags listed under any photo, video or album, you?ll be redirected to the Tags tab on the Member Homepage that shows all the specific tags you?re looking for.

Yes! By going to a member?s homepage and clicking on their Tags tab, you can see how they?re using tags to group and organize. Tags can be quite personal, such as ?Baby Jenny Month 1,? so you could get some ideas for your own unique tags.

Please sign in to your Webshots membership and go to the photo, video or album page and look for the tag you want to delete in your list of tags. The tags will be found in the panel to the right of the image(s). Click on the 'x' to the right of the tag to delete that tag from that image.
