So I’ve been going through CD-Media lately, and I’m noticing a lot of photos that haven’t been tagged correctly. I figure it’s time for a refresher.
**In General
**Tag the photos with teams and people. If it’s a two-word tag–say, for a name, put the whole thing in quotation marks. For example, tagging a photo Andy Baker would create two tags: “Andy” and “Baker”. While Andy Baker is probably awesome enough to take up two tags in CD-Media, he still needs to be tagged “Andy Baker”–with the quotes.
If someone has a CD username other than their real name, tag that as well. (Some folks are an exception to this rule–nobody’s gone around tagging photos of me “William Leverette”, mainly because virtually nobody in FIRST calls me William Leverette.)
**Competition Photos
**Let’s say you’ve got a picture from the Magnolia Regional. When uploaded, it should be tagged with four tags:
“Magnolia Regional”
“Magnolia Regional 2007”
“2007”
“regional”
That would be the full, official name of the regional–no substituting “UCF” for the Florida Regional, or even just calling it Chesapeake. Also note that photos should only be tagged with a competition tag if the photo was actually taken at or around a competition. (For example, a picture I took of 1618’s robot in the shop wouldn’t get tagged “Palmetto Regional”. I’d still tag it with 2007, obviously.)
Teams
When tagging teams, there’s precisely one format that works: the competition and their team numbers. For example, I would tag a photo of my team frc1618. 1902’s FVC team would be tagged fvc1902. Again, tagging frc 1618 would create two tags–frc and 1618, neither of which is correct. Team names, such as “Capital Robotics”, “TechnoKats”, or “Exploding Bacon”, are fine as well.
Who Am I’s
If your photograph is one you want to have as the picture on your profile, make sure you tag it “Who Am I?”, then click the little name tag above the thumbnails for the previous and next photos.
Voting
Below all the tags, you’ll see a little circle with a check box in it. That lets you vote on tags others have put on that photo. If you see one that’s wrong, vote against it! If you see one that’s right, obviously, vote for it. If there’s a little trash can next to a tag, and you didn’t put it there, clicking it will initiate the deletion process, with about the same voting setup as adding a tag (except, obviously, the first vote is to delete). If there’s a little trash can there and you did tag it, clicking it will delete the tag outright.
Hope this helps, y’all!
) and I have tried to help with the proper tagging process(not an easy job for one man).
