Please either reply to this post if you have a specific question or comment about the webinar.

Thanks, Kami. Amy Sample Ward, the webinar presenter, has a great write-up of the event and she answered several follow-up questions including one that I've heard many people ask:

How do you create a tag?

If you are using Delicious, for example, you don’t need to create a list of tags or a taxonomy you have to stick to before you actually start saving bookmarks.  You can create a new tag every time you save something if you want to.  When you save the bookmark, you add the tags you want associated with it, and those can be new or ones you’ve used before.  That’s it; once you hit save that tag is created.

The same is true of our forums. As you've probably noticed, at the bottom of the message screen is a "tags" bar where you can enter in any tags to describe your post or you can select from the tags that others in the forums have used. After you've posted a message, you can also edit your tags for any post(s) you've made by simply hitting the "edit tags" at the bottom of your message.

What other questions do you have about social media tools?

Best,

Megan

After the Storytelling and Social Media webinar with Amy last week, I rushed to put it all into practice straightaway. 

Stacey,

I am desperately trying to figure out how to get the RSS feed icon to appear on my web site.  It shows up in my URL bar, and our Foundation's name shows up in my Google Reader list, but when I click on it, I get an error message saying there are no feeds.

All I really want is to have that cute little RSS icon on my home page and any advice as to where else it needs to go -- press releases, newsletters, events -- or is the home page enough?

I would greatly appreciate any advice on this.

Thanks!

Kelley
