Tagging Posts
We have an optional tag system that allows for easier searching of like or topics that share certain themes. Tagging involves the use of a hashtag (#) followed by a specific word such as

All tags are created on the back-end in the ACP, so the tag needs to be already made for it to be used. If a relevant tag is missing, please reach out to the Administration. Refer below to see our full listing of tags:
