Tag (Category) List for Flickr Biss Meadows Group

Note: All tags are lower case without an initial capital letter.
By convention, tags are singular (e.g. tree not trees).
For technical reasons they are a one word. So two words are joined together if need be. For example, water fowl becomes waterfowl.
Requests for additional tags will be considered.

To accurately use these tags, you can double-click on a tag on this page and then right-click and select copy. Then on the Flickr page right click and paste into the tag field.

On this page, there are tags associated with the Nature and Leisure topics, with Dating and Search Engines. These are followed by some Examples

Working Party and Event photos are handled differently as they are used to illustrate specific pages. They are explained at the end of this page.

 

Nature and Leisure Tags

The Nature or Leisure tags should reflect the main subject of the photograph and not incidental or minor detail. Use a landscape tag for general scenes.

Each of the Nature or Leisure tags has an associated topic page (e.g. butterfly is a topic within the Nature page and Walking is a topic within the Leisure page). Photos with these tags will appear on these pages in addition to the Gallery page.

Working Party and Event Tags

Working Party and Event photos are handled differently as they are used to illustrate the News and Events pages. They will however still appear in the Gallery page and will be highlighted in the Category List. 

They have the recommended Search Engine tags plus a single date tag in the form wpddmmyy for Working Parties and evddmmyy for Events. Known dates are listed below. If you define a new date then please liaise with the Web Master as there needs to be a coding change to the web site.

Also please set the Flickr Taken Date to the date of the Working Party or Event. This is done on Flickr's Organize page.
