+%%site.name%% supports
+[tags](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_(metadata)) to help you
+organize your activities here. You can use tags for people and for
+notices.
+
+Tagging a notice
+----------------
+
+You can tag a notice using a *hashtag*; a # character followed by
+letters and numbers as well as '.', '-', and '_'. Note that accented
+latin characters are not supported, and non-roman scripts are right out.
+
+The HTML for the notice will link to a stream of all the other notices
+with that tag. This can be a great way to keep track of a conversation.
+
+The most popular current tags on the site can be found in the [public
+tag cloud](%%action.publictagcloud%%). Their size shows their
+popularity and recency.
+
+Tagging yourself
+----------------
+
+You can also add tags for yourself on your [profile
+settings](%%action.profilesettings%%) page. Use single words to
+describe yourself, your experiences and your interest. The tags will
+become links on your profile page to a list of all the users on the
+site who use that same tag. It can be a nice way to find people who
+are related to you geographically or who have a common interest.
+
+Tagging your subscriptions
+--------------------------
+
+You can also tag your subscriptions, on the subscriptions page. This
+makes it easy to organize your subscriptions into groups and sort
+through them separately.
+
+You can also send a notice "to the attention of" everyone you've
+marked with a particular tag (note: *not* people who've marked
+themselves with that tag). "@#family hello" will send a notice to
+everyone you've marked with the tag 'family'.
