Customize your Tagged News List

**

Want to feature articles about a specific topic on your organization page? You can do this with a Tagged News List that auto-populates with the most recently published articles tagged with a particular keyword. This allows you to keep the content on your page fresh with little effort, while also helping to share and promote related content from other Army public affairs professionals.

Not only does a Tagged News List encourage your visitors to stay engaged by finding content thatinterests them, it also helps with search engine optimization. By just having an up-to-date organization page, you send the message to visitors and search engines that your site is active and relevant.

NOTE: You must be a publisher or administrator to be able to add a content section to your organization’s Page.

Things to consider

There are a few things to consider before you add a Tagged News List to your Page:

  • Articles will automatically appear live on your Page once they are released. No need to re-publish your Page in CORE.
  • Any CORE member who has permission to release articles can also publish content to your Page. Rest assured, all content that appears in your feed has been reviewed and approved by users with the authority to release content on behalf of their organization and the Army.
  • You cannot change the order of articles, unless you change the release date on the article.
  • You cannot remove an article from this list, unless you retract the article and remove it from www.army.mil altogether.

Get your content to appear in Tagged News Lists

You can add relevant tags to your article at any time during the content creation and publishing process. Once released, your content will automatically appear in the search results, Tag Feeds, and Tagged News Lists of any tags you use, allowing people to find related articles around that topic. To learn more about how to add tags, visit Tags.

Keep in mind that while adding tags can increase the chance that your content is discovered, you don’t want irrelevant content showing up in news feeds and search results, and neither do we. That’s why we recommend limiting the number of tags you use to the five most relevant tags.

TIP: Ensure that all members of your team know what keyword(s) you are using in your Tagged News Lists, so that they can accurately tag their content too. For more suggestions on how to establish a tag system within your organization, visit Tagging tips.
