Please Tag Your Uploads (New and Old)

We've always been able to categorize resources by Module Type (Commentary, Bible, Topic, Devotion, etc). We can now categorize resources by other terms, as discussed here.


Please Tag Your Existing Uploads
Please edit any file you previously uploaded to include the proper tags. Why? So users can find them easier. And to reduce the workload for our moderators.


Requirements for New Uploads
When you upload a new file, you must include category tags or your resource will be unapproved. Also, any new file uploaded without at least a meaningful sentence or two description of the file's contents or the file will be unapproved until you can provide one. For topics, this would preferably include a listing of the Table of Contents, but not absolutely required.


Finding Files You Previously Uploaded
You can easily see all files you have contributed to this website:



How Do I Tag/Categorize a Resource I Uploaded?
1) View the file description and click Edit this Upload:


2) If you previously listed tags in the "Suggest a Tag" field (see below), delete them from this field and use the drop-down menu to select them instead. If you can't find  the tag you need and believe we should add one, place the suggested tag in the "Suggest a Tag" field and email/chat me to let me know.



We put *** divisions between the tag categories to "break-up" the list of tags. This way, it's easier for the human eye to see the list of tags. There is no need to tag a resource by Module Type. That's why there's no tag for "Topic" or "Commentary". We already have categories for these and the resource should be in that category.


What's the Point of this?
Users will be able to navigate by Tag (or Bookshelf). See the Bookshelves block at the bottom of the image below (or go to the Downloads section to see this live):



When tagged, resources will look like this:



Tag/Category Cheat Sheet:
We do have a number of tags to chose from. Here's a hierarchy of how they are listed so you can familiarize yourself with them. We are updating this list as the need arises, so feel free to suggest any you need to tag your resource. When you edit or upload a file, and click the "Add a Tag" link, you will see this list:
