Like reblogging, tagging posts is a central feature of the tumblr platform. Tumblr uses 'free form' tagging which allows users to create their own custom tags. Tags serve many purposes. Tags allow blog owners to label their posts to locate them later and to allow others to do the same. Tags can also be used to offer additional commentary to a post (whether an original post or a reblog). And finally tags assist other readers in finding - or excluding- content from appearing on their dashboards. | Like reblogging, tagging posts is a central feature of the tumblr platform.
