How to Add Tags to Your Tumblr Page
A few years after Tumblr launched, the microblogging platform introduced the ability to tag posts. Tags are a form of categorization that allow you to group similar posts together with keywords. You can also search for posts on other Tumblr sites that contain a certain tag. It's easy to add tags to new Tumblr posts as well as to posts you've already published.
