Said name is not a huge secret, but I don’t go out of my way to post it here, so if you’d like to make sure you can follow me, and you don’t already know it, PM me and ask. So we’re not to give away the fact that your real life name is Meryl Streep. Got it. 😃 ---

I posted my first thing on Wordpress! My name is antijenicdrift, and I tagged it with “sdmb” so you guys can look for it. Or I guess I can just [link to it here](http://thingaday2012.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/img_1875.jpg). ---

Hmmm. **Antigen** , I tried searching for the sdmb tag and it didn’t return any results, although I found it when I searched “origami,” which was in the body. I just e-mailed them and asked them if there is a way to search tags. Others, if you haven’t already, would you please tell us what name you’re posting under in TAD? ---

I just e-mailed them and asked them if there is a way to search tags. I went back to check, and my post is tagged with “sdmb” but it doesn’t appear in the “tag cloud” so maybe it’s not something you can search for? Weird. I’ll keep linking to stuff here, to make it easier! ---

I started to type in sdmb when tagging my post and it autocompleted so maybe there has to be a couple other people using the tag before it shows up in the cloud? Also, if anyone is still having trouble figuring out how to post I found [http://thingaday2012.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/instructions-on-creating-your-first-thing-a-day-2012-post/](http://thingaday2012.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/instructions-on-creating-your-first-thing-a-day-2012-post/)this entry which really helped walk me through all the steps. ---

I also tagged mine SDMB, then came up empty on a search. As I said above, I’m posting under my real name – PM me if you don’t know it. ---

Update: SDMB is in the cloud this morning. ---

I’m signed up, but I won’t be posting anything until after Feb. 13th. I’m posting under my real life name, but I’ll tag my stuff SDMB so it shows up there as well. ---

Alas, I have been spending the past couple of months on the Great Craft Room Re-Do. And I’ve don’t think I’m even a quarter of the way through the project. No TAD for me this year. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thing-a-day-2012-edition/611126.md?page=1)
