How To Add Special Category Sub-tabs (links) for Blogs, Forums, Photos, Videos

You can make it much easier for your members to find content, by adding good tags to your content. For these links to work nicely, be sure to spend a little time adding consistent tags to your:
blogs, forums, photos, and videos. It works for text within the content, as well. But, to add good tags to content, will produce the best results.

It's also a good idea to encourage your members to add consistent tags to their content (blogs, forums, all discussions, photos, and videos). For example, let's say you have a sport site. You could make a list of tags for your members, and encourage them to tag their content appropriately. For sports you might add a tag list like this: baseball, basketball, football, golf, hockey, soccer, etc...

With a Sport's site as our example, let's talk about the links you'll need to add to your new sub-tabs.

Blogs:
/profiles/blog/list?q=golf


Forum Discussions:
/forum/topic/search?q=hockey


Photos:
/photo/photo/search?q=soccer


Videos:
/video/video/search?q=baseball

Add Your Sub-tabs:
After you have decided what tags you would like to use, start creating your sub-tabs. It's best to use the same Sub-tab Title, as the actual search tag.
