What are these ?

The Hottest Tag box or "tag cloud" is a convenient way to find out which topics are getting the most coverage on INQUIRER.net and keeping track of articles classified or "tagged" under these topics.

All articles on INQUIRER.net are tagged before being posted and the Hottest Tags box lists 20 tags that have at least one article classified under them in the last 30 days, for the area of the site in which the box appears.

Tags with more articles appear in larger type; tags with fewer articles in smaller type. Bringing your mouse over a tag shows you the number of articles classified under that tag and clicking on a tag leads you to a list of articles under that tag.

To view more tags and a list that covers all areas of the site, click on the "More" link under each Hottest Tag box.
