But if everything in the blog is tagged with TDF, what's the point? I don't know a lot about tags, but I thought their purpose was for finding things once you had reached the blog, not for finding the blog in the first place. I may be totally wrong about that, of course. There are other ways to help outsiders find the blog, including those who might stumble upon it by accident (by seeing a tweet about it, for example). --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
