Labels and You (and the blog)

There was mention of dif blogs/categories/etc this morning.

When you're writing a post, you'll have a space at the bottom of the form marked "Labels for this post." Enter whatever labels you like, separating them with commas.

I've edited the labels for a couple of past posts to get us started, but essentially, label the posts with your name, and the category it goes in. For example, I changed the label for a recent post to "Jim, Indicators" because JJ posted it, and it's an indicator.

You'll see a new section on the right side of page that has the labels listed, so if you want to see all Indicator posts, just click on that label and it will filter them out.

Please label ALL your posts with your name (so say i want to see all of Cleon's posts I can just click his name) and the category it belongs in.

Intermediate labeling: Posts can go to several categories, for exajavascript:void(0)mple a daily chartwork type post might belong in "SRS, Chartwork, Market Profile"

Tip: Make new labels at will, but be aware that these are supposed to be categories... so getting too specific isn't great... remember that if you want to search for something specific, you can just use the search box on upper left corner of the page.

example: "Indicators" is a good label, but "Crazy indicator that uses ticks ema's colors and crazy things indicator" isn't!

Also, try and see if there is an existing category the post belongs in before making a new one.

PS: i've gone through and re-labeled a handful of posts to get us started, if you don't like the names i picked... just let me know or you can change them.
