Filtering by tags

[vilakins]

In case you don't know, LJ has this great new feature: filtering your reading list by people's tags (if of course they use them).

You can modify settings for anyone (who uses tags) on your Edit Friends page. Another way of doing it is hovering over a friend's userhead and choosing Edit Tags. You can choose to include or exclude tags (but not, it seems, both).

So useful if you don't want to read posts about say sports or politics or particular fandoms. Now you'll be able to filter out my daily art posts come August if you're not interested.

I have some tags but I never use them.

It took me a while to get round to using them a couple of years ago. They're useful for finding old posts. I really need to go through my scrapbook and tag photos so I can find them by various categories.

Problem is that search engines pick up tags and I'd rather not have my posts indexed.
