Content Tags
Content Tags is a Joomla! Component.
We include it in our guide's Navigation section because the Component helps website visitors find what they are looking for.
Here is how The Joomla! Project describe Tags.
"Tags in Joomla! provide a flexible way of organizing content.
The same tag can be applied to many different content items across content types (articles, weblinks, newsfeeds, contacts, and categories).
Any item can have as many Tags as desired.
Once an item is tagged with a specific tag, browsing to the link for that tag will give a list of all items that have been tagged with that tag."

Examplar Tags
We include exemplar Tags in a WYNCHCO Website Design.
Articles in two exemplar Categories have been assigned Tags:
- Articles in the About Us Category = About Us.
- Articles in the Example Category = Example Article.
How Tags works
Here is what a Tag looks like when an Article has been tagged.
Image shows the Example Tag as displayed at the bottom of an Article in the Example category included in a WYNCHCO Website Design.
When a visitor clicks the Tag button, they will be presented with a list of Articles which are similarly tagged.
See next image.
When your website contains lots of Articles and Menu Links.
For example: a blog or an educational website (like this one).
The use of Tags enables visitors to find content relevant to their needs.
Tags may also help improve your website's position in the search engines.
When your website does not contain a lot of Articles and Menu Links.
