As regular Nature Networkers will know, most stuff you put on the site can be tagged. Tags pull together information about the same topic from various sections of the site – a convenient way of navigating around information of interest. You can add tags to more or less anything, from your own profile to upcoming events. Try it and see.

1. Plurdling of the grummet nadger’s scrode
2. The majesty of rock the mystery of roll
3. Animal porn
4. Ah great aunt etheldredas ears
5. Children of Hurin
6. klaatu barada nikto
7. Michael Douglas
8. Braying mob
9. Science is boring
10. Pocket protector
