How to manage blog authors and tags

Authors and tags help visitors find relevant content and build trust with your job board. Authors establish credibility through bylines and profiles, while tags group posts by topic for easier browsing.

Managing authors

Authors give your blog posts credibility. When job seekers see content from a named author with a photo and bio, they trust the information more than anonymous posts.

Add an author

1. Go to Blog > Authors
2. Click Add author
3. Enter author details:
   • Name
   • Bio (optional)
   • Photo (optional)
4. Click Add author

Edit an author

1. Find the author in your author list
2. Click to open their profile
3. Update their information
4. Click Save changes

What author profiles include

Each author profile can display:

• Profile photo (square images work best)
• Short biography (2-3 sentences about their expertise)
• Links to social media or personal website
• List of all their published posts

Using tags

Tags categorize posts by topic, making it easier for visitors to find related content. A job seeker interested in remote work can click that tag and see all relevant posts.

Add tags to a post

1. When editing a post, find the Tags field
2. Type a tag name
3. Select an existing tag or create a new one
4. Add multiple tags if the post covers several topics

Common tag categories for job boards

• Topics: Career tips, Industry news, Interviews, Salary guides
• Audience: Job seekers, Employers, Recruiters
• Job types: Remote work, Entry level, Executive, Part-time

Manage all tags

1. Go to Blog > Tags
2. View all tags and their post counts
3. Click Add tag to add new tags
4. Edit or delete tags as needed

Tips for better organization

1. Be consistent: Use the same tags across related posts so visitors can find everything on a topic
2. Limit tags per post: 3-5 tags is usually enough; too many dilutes their usefulness
3. Use searchable terms: Choose tags visitors might actually search for
4. Clean up regularly: Remove unused or duplicate tags to keep your tag list manageable

How visitors benefit

When authors and tags are set up well:

• Visitors filter blog posts by tag to find topics they care about
• Visitors browse posts by author to follow writers they trust
• Related content surfaces naturally, keeping visitors engaged longer
