PT Blogs Feature Tags

Overview

PT Tags has been integrated into the PT Blogs application to allow blog contributors to build a collection of user defined tags, or keywords, to associate to the blog post.

Tags are associated to a specific blog instance. This means that only the blog posts within the blog can share tags. The tags are not shared globally for all the blogs.

Follow the steps below to integrate the PT Tags into blog posts.
