Organization - Labels part 2

I have been working diligently to clean up my labels (tags), to help you all have an easier experience searching through the archives - two years worth of my blogging. (see part one Organization - Tags and other issues)  There ends up being several ways to find what interests you.   Blogs about travel outside of Brasil are also labeled by the specific places (Spain, Italy , Chile , etc.) and blogs about travel inside of Brasil also can be found under the city or area visited (Iguacu Falls or Curitiba ). Photography will also take you to some of these same entries but the entries include a large number of my photos.  My favorites are within Culture Shock which is were I have talked about my thoughts /feelings about living outside of my country, as opposed to culture (31)  which talks about things that happen that seem more cultural here in Brasil than human nature in general.

 

I also added a search this blog area at the very beginning just incase you can remember something VERY profound that I said but can't remember where I said it. Let me know if you have trouble getting any of this to work.   Anyway, do a little looking and see if all my work has helped.

Organization - Tags and other issues

No pictures today, today is a clean house day and I have a lot of that to do. Aparently I have not been very good at tagging (labeling) my blogs in a way that will make sense to you, my reader or to those searching information about Brasil and therefore finding my blog by accident.

I have been putting tags such as aggressive green in Brasil which has a lot of meaning to me, but may not help you find anything if you are searching..... Camillo's father came to visit a long time ago and as he stepped off the plane said, 'the greens in Brasil are so aggressive'. Being from Italy, a country of the drab gray-green of an olive tree, and the light browns of limestone clifts, the colors of Brasil are agressive. So I used this tag (label) when I was writing about the forest, about color, about landscapes and as I looked back, aggressive thoughts and a hodge-podge of other entries. Well it must have made a lot of sense at the time. (I'm sorry!)

Over the past few days I have tried to go back and edit the blog entries and put in tags that would make sense to my readers and potential future readers. Let me tell you this is a JOB. There is no way to sort, add a tag and then save. NO! I had to go through the list of posts (185 of them), find one I wanted, enter additional tags, re-publish, the go back to the beginning of the list and start searching again..... Just so you'll know - I do not have the type of patience it takes to do this task... so I will just make you a promise that from now on I will do better and you can, in a spirit of adventure, go through my labels and see what they mean - good luck to all of us.

By the way photos of Carnival are under colors of Brasil not under Carnival in general - there is also a Carnival revival.....which is about the city going back to the street carnivals of old - okay so being organized is not one of my strong suits..... just work with me a bit.....
