1/n colsanjaypande.com My effort to continuously improve your experience on my website, which has large number of varied topics, I have added 'TAGS" that will help you read just what 'you' want to read and not everything I write.

3/n of which category it belongs, the tags pick up similar topics from all six categories. I will explain it with help of one Category.
All tags appear at the bottom when you log in from mobile and at bottom right corner if on laptop. Each tag gives out the number of articles under each tag. If you want to read about 'Military Fun Tales" just click on it. So easy.
