Tags make it easier to find diaries that can be identified by a keyword representing a topic, person, event, etc. Use the tables below to find tags that are generating a lot of interest at the moment, or use the tag search to find specific tags that are used infrequently.
You can 'follow' tags that you want to track and add to your blog's sidebar, which will make it easier to see when new diaries are posted that include your tags. This is especially helpful if it is a topic that people write important but infrequent diaries about, like "salmon", or "mercury", or "water"; it can also be used to track your favorite diary series.
