Hi Everyone,
We receive lots of messages each day from users asking us how to do certain things on MySpace so we have decided to create a series of blogs to answer those questions. Each week, we’ll be giving you some MySpace tips and tricks in this blog making sure you’re kept up to date on all the exciting features and tools available on the site.....
And now onto this week’s tutorial…
MYSPACE 101:
Tag, you're it! How to tag your photos.
What is Photo Tagging?....
Photo tagging allows you to identify your MySpace friends in your photos. By tagging your photos, you link to your friends’ profiles.
Why should I tag my photos?....
MySpace is a great place to upload your photos because there are no limits on how many you can upload to an album and you can have as many albums as you’d like. But why not take it to the next level and tag your friends so all of your fantastic photos show up on their profiles, too? This way you can share the photos you took camping last weekend with everyone in them. Easy and fun! What’s not to love?!.
So… how do I do it?
1. Go to your photo albums. You can do this by clicking on “My Photos” in the Profile drop down in the navigation
2. Click on the album you want to start tagging
3. Click on the photo you want to tag
4. Click on the “Tag Photo” button, that’s right below the photo
5. Position the dotted box over the person you want to tag. Resize the box by dragging the borders to frame the person's face
6. Type their name in the input box to the right and select the appropriate person
7. You’re done! You’ve tagged your first photo – congrats!
Note: To tag another friend in the same photo, follow steps 4-6 again!

Now what?
Your homework from this lesson is to tag us, A Place for Canadians, in your favourite/best MySpace photo for your chance to be our FEATURED PHOTO. That’s right – all you have to do is follow the steps above, tag us and you may just be featured all over MySpace Canada for your fantastic photography and tagging skills.
If you have any questions or problems with photo tagging, leave a comment on this blog and we’ll be happy to help you out
Happy Tagging!
