I've noticed on the bottom of my posts, it says 'Edit Tags'.  What does that mean?

Thanks,

Have you seen the box of words on the right hand side of the screen when you go to the forums? That's a tag cloud. Tags are kind of like an indexing system. So, if you put (and I do the same) "Tags" in the tags field when we post, the word will show up in the cloud. What's useful about it is that it then makes our posts searchable. So overtime we will have--ourselves--created a huge searchable database. Say you're about to make a scrap quilt. You can search for scrap quilt and thanks to everyone who has tagged their posts, you can bring up all of the posts with scrap quilt in them. "Edit tags" just means that you can change/add/remove them. Cool, huh?

Thank you Jodie for that explanation.  That is really a neat and useful feature.
