With so many tags here on Opuss, I thought it might be useful to gather them together. I know I have missed some, and there will be many more to come, so please let me know what I've missed in the comments.
I am going to be putting a tag or even two on all my new posts. Opuss isn't that search friendly yet, so (for me anyway) it will be useful to have categories. eg #love for any romantic posts or maybe #funny for humorous stuff, be it blogs, poems or stories.
Here's a couple of hints for making them work:
Firstly, they must be attached to an Opuss BEFORE it is posted. They can not be edited in!
Also if you write your post out in say notepad first, then paste it into Opuss, make sure you wait till its in the Opuss composer before tagging it.
Finally, always add the tag at the very end. The software Opuss uses finds tags much easier at the end!!
#100days - Writer's block? Check out @madhatter's Opuss '100 day writing challenge!' for 100 themes to inspire!
#abc - a challenge to create an Opuss of 26 words, each of which starts with a different letter of the alphabet.. In alphabetical order!
#acorns - so many 'lost' posts feeling neglected at the beginning of our own feeds. Put them up again now that you have a few more followers. See @brownowl2012's Opuss 'from the smallest acorns..'
#augustwriteaday - more inspiring themes. One for each day in August. See @GeorginaMay's Opuss 'augustwriteaday rules!'
#competitions - read or heard about a writing competition that might interest opussians? Let everyone know! See @sb2uk's post 'costa short story competition' for more
#Firstwrite - can you remember or find one of your young write's? Put it up.. Sorry I can't find where this originated :(
#household - an (almost) daily competition whereby a household object is picked as a theme by the previous winner who also judges and picks the next winner. We have @Delilah to thank for this most popular challenge in Opussian history!
#love - a general tag for the most common theme.
#nightdwellers - are you a night owl? Then join the opussians of the dark. The stuff of nightmares! Yet again I have failed finding the origin but it was born of a night of passion between @RichWithey @wolfie and @sjw
#purepoetry - a challenge using only the letters of the top line in standard keyboard to make a four line poem!! See @thecodspollocks' Opuss 'Pure Poetry.
#red - create a 4 liner featuring the word 'red' see @rracmada's 'The red challenge'
#shapepoetry - poetry in shapes! Much better described in @brownowl2012's Opuss 'challenge - shape poetry'
#theopusstale - a running tale with a new Opussian adding their own section in turn! See @iPuss' Opuss 'just a quick notice!' for more details
#TwistedOpuss - a challenge for your twisted tales, a story or poem with a sneaky end. See @Nom's 'a twisted challenge'
#youngwritershousehold - same as #household.. But for the younger opussians (14 & under I think)
So that's all I have for now but will update as much as I can! Most are challenges but I think if posts were tagged under genre it would be another cool way of searching them out depending on mood.. Just need'em to work!
