Comments on: Let’s LABEL our entries in this blog http://storyfieldcreations.wordpress.com/2007/03/06/lets-label-our-entries-in-this-blog/ For our contributions to the emergence of a new story field Thu, 23 Aug 2007 21:14:16 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: tomatlee http://storyfieldcreations.wordpress.com/2007/03/06/lets-label-our-entries-in-this-blog/#comment-5 tomatlee Sat, 02 Jun 2007 02:52:27 +0000 http://storyfieldcreations.wordpress.com/2007/03/06/lets-label-our-entries-in-this-blog/#comment-5 Thanks for your comments, Tree. I have responded to your feeling of being controlled at http://storyfieldconversations.wordpress.com/2007/05/28/hello-from-the-new-registrar/#comment-12 Regarding the tags: Participants WILL be able to create their own tags (although only for the actual postings; unfortunately, WordPress doesn't allow tagging of comments). Refer to the above URL for info about how the system recognizes Participants. There is such a thing as a taxonomy, which is a pre-formed group of categories, and then there is a folksonomy, which is a group of categories created on the fly by all the participants. Our approach is a mix of these two. We wanted to invite people to use some standard categories (which creates a common ground -- since people may make tags like "drawing" and "drawings" which then don't help select all the entries having to do with drawings) AND we wanted people to be able to tag their entries in any way they want. As soon as someone creates a new tag it is added to the tag list. I hope this clarifies. Thanks for your comments, Tree.

I love that box, the one that says 'a co-created gallery'. . . . . and then you have retained control. . . . weird to me At the top of the blog, Tom, you have a lovely statement of intention.
