Two Valuable Notes About Tags and UNEPortfolios
- UNEPortfolios has an installed plugin (Tag Pages) that enables you to Tag your Pages and your Posts.
- You can add a customizable “tag cloud” of your most frequently used Tags to your ePortfolio by adding the Tilted Tag Cloud Widget to your sidebar (Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets). This will enable visitors to click a tag to pull up all Posts and Pages with that tag or keyword.

To use it successfully, each post should be categorized by course name or number. The tutorial below explains how to add the Recent Posts Extended widget to your site’s Main Menu sidebar.
