A major new feature that comes with Joomla! 3.1 is Tags. Dynamic tagging is now available across all content types.
When designing a web site, or planning the content structure of a site, one is often faced with the issue of choosing between one or another category for an article.
Many times, content fits into more then one category, or you would like to provide visitors to your web site with more then one way to find the content they are looking for.
This is where the new Tags feature of the Joomla! 3.1 CMS will be very valuable.
