The alphabetical list of keywords and phrases on our courses homepage is a so-called "tag cloud". Tags consist of any single word or any phrase that are added by our forum users either to their "interests" (in their profiles) or to their blogs in the identically named input field.

Tag clouds are used to visualise information. If there are any keywords or phrases that were tagged by several forum users they show up in bigger letters. In this way the size of the letters of any keyword or phrase grows or diminishes according to the number of users who tagged it. A tag cloud is therefore a so-called weighted list. By looking at the tag cloud you can see at a glance which tags are most important to our users, and which are less important.

If you click on any of the tags displayed in the tag cloud you will be shown all forum users who tagged this keyword or phrase and you will also be shown all blog posts that contain this keyword or phrase.

When you add any tags to your profile or blog please separate them by commas ",". When you don't do this then several tags will appear as one single tag, e.g. if you separated them by ";" or "." or any other punctuation mark.

You have the choice to either create a new tag for yourself or to choose an already existing tag from the tag cloud by clicking it and then choose "add (keyword) to my interests". If you created a new tag that matches an already existing one then this tag will not be created a second time but the letters of the already existing tag will grow in size to indicate that one more forum user added this tag to his or her interests (or blog).

Please also mind that our rules and policies also apply to the tags you choose. So please take care that your tags are appropriate, meaningful and significant, that they are spelled correctly, that they do not violate any rules, do not contain any advertising and are not offensive.
If you feel a tag violates any of these rules please bring it to the attention of a moderator by clicking it and choose "flag as inappropriate".
