The Drupal taxonomy provides a great way to manage the content sorting of your web site. Those are just basic examples and you can achieve amazing results extending the taxonomy vocabularies and terms for your web site.

Now that we have created the vocabulary and we have added terms to it, we can use it when posting content on the web site. For example, if in the vocabulary settings you have checked the 'tags' and 'required' settings and set the vocabulary to pages, the create page form will look like this:

Note that the tags option auto completes the vocabulary field with one of the terms we have created before.

If you choose terms from the vocabulary they will be displayed as tags on the page you have posted them as shown below:

Note that the terms presented do not indicate their underlying structure to the reader. The vocabulary just displays all terms for this content item.
