INTRODUCING TAGFOOT

Thanks for visiting this page to find out more about Tagfoot, a revolutionary social bookmarking and networking site.

Below are some guidelines as to what to do once you sign up with Tagfoot, things that will help you to more easily fit into this great community, but first, CLICK HERE to accept my personal invitation to sign up.      The link should open in a new window/tab in your browser.  Once you have signed up with Tagfoot, please take a look at the guidelines below, a list of things that will help you to get the most out of Tagfoot, making the experience more enjoyable for you and for others.

WELCOME TO TAGFOOT!

As with everything in life, we all have to learn when we come across something new.    Tagfoot is just the same.   Here are some simple guidelines, that will help you as you take those first footsteps:

Add a profile picture / avatar so people can recognize you.

If you don’t have a photo to upload, there are sites where you can get an avatar that you can use.

Tag Yourself

Tagfoot is built around tags and sharing things using tags.  When you bookmark something, give it tags so that people can find it if they do a search.  For example, if you bookmark a page containing jokes, set tags such as Humor, Jokes, Irish Jokes etc.   Since everything is based on tags, give yourself tags.   In your profile, add tags to identify the type of things that you are interested in.  For example, my tags include Humor, News, UK, Florida, Music, Squidoo.

Become a Twitfoot

Do you Twitter?  If you are a member of Twitter, Tagfoot can tweet your updates to your Twitter profile.  So if you are a member, don’t forget to add your Twitter details.

Right.  Now you are free to go out into the world of Tagfoot and see what’s happening.   Start with the all footsteps tab, take a look at some posts, comment on them, rate them, join in the discussions, become an active part of the community.   Tagfoot is very easy to navigate, so I won’t go into the details here, but there are some useful documents on Tagfoot itself if you get stuck, plus any of us Bigfeet will be pleased to help you out.

A few guidelines before you go further

Tag your friends.

You need to edit the tags of your friends yourself.   Go to My Friends and beside each friend on the right hand side, if you hover over it, an option to EDIT will appear. You can then add tags for your friends.   When  you share a post on Tagfoot, it’s done using the Tags that YOU define for your friends, NOT the tags that they set for themselves.  The tags that they set for themselves are just guidelines, as to things that they are interested in.

Share responsibly

When you share something, share responsibly.   Don’t share everything that you bookmark to all your friends.  Share using relevant tags instead.  A funny video could be shared with tag:funny, tag:humor etc.  Not everyone wants everything that you have to share. If you bookmark 10 pages every day and share them to all of your friends, and if everyone else does the same, then we all get buried in messages and have to start deleting things because we can’t keep up.  That is not being very friendly.  The best thing is to just share one or two items a day, and to do it with tags.  One of the fun things to do on Tagfoot, as well as seeing what your friends share with you, is to go to all footsteps or to one of your friends and to see what they have posted but not shared.  I can guarantee that you will find something of interest, but you can’t do that if you are constantly trying to keep up with your messages.

Interact!

Leave comments on postings.  We want to get to know you!

Rate others comments.

This not only raises their footness, but also your own.

Ah yes, footness.   If you like a post you can kick it up using the “+” option in the top left corner of the screen.   You also have the option of rating comments that have been left on a post.  As you foot and kick things up and people foot you up, so your footness grows, and you should see yourself in the list of top footers on the right of the screen if you have the all footsteps tab open.

Earn money on Tagfoot

I bet you were wondering when I was going to get to this! Add 10 items to your bookmarks, videos, news and wishlist, and having done that, you can apply to Support for your Google Adsense id to be added to gain your share of revenue.   You then become a Profoot and get a shiny new badge to add to your profile.  Each page on Tagfoot has Adsense adverts, and if you qualify for Profoot status, a proportion of the pages will contain adverts with your Adsense id.  Not a member of Adsense?  There are documents in Tagfoot that tell you more about this.

Bigfeet

There are a few members who are known as Bigfeet and I am one of them.  We are here to help you and to help Support ensure that Tagfoot stays a nice, friendly, spam free site.  If you need help and you don’t know what to do, ask a Bigfoot.  We can be identified by the badge under our profile pictures.  There’s always the ‘HELP’ sections too.

Play around with all the features on Tagfoot

I’ve been on here for a while now and am still finding out about stuff.   If anything changes or anything new is added, Support usually send out a message to everyone to let them know what’s new.  Things are changing all the time, and as members we often get the opportunity to help define the direction that Tagfoot goes in.

Finally…

Enjoy yourself!

More detailed information on any of the above can be found in the HELP sections which you will find in the top right hand corner of every page you look at.

There is one Golden Rule though!  Limit your shares!
One or two a day is more than enough.
You don’t want to become known as a Wart now do you?
