Right, that's all we have in the main dropdown box under the "Search
the database" field. If you want to see all tags, first you need to
display a title. Any title will do, but we will use Laurell K.
Hamilton's _Guilty Pleasures_ (http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?
7158) as an example. At the top of the page you will see a number of
lines of text staring with "Title: Guilty Pleasures" and ending with
"Popular Tags: private investigators (1) , vampires (1) , zombies
(1) , urban fantasy (1) Add Tags". OK, so Anita is not exactly a
private investigator, but close enough.
Click on "Add Tags" and the system will ask you to log in. Go through
the standard Wiki account creation process, answer the math question
and go back to the "Add Tags" page. At that point you should see the
Tag Editor page (http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/edit/edittags.cgi?7158)
which will display "Most Popular Tags in the Database: fantasy (299),
space opera (289), nanotechnology (228), science fiction (181), horror
(178)" etc, etc, etc. Click on any one of them, e.g.
"nanotechnology" (http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/tag.cgi?91)
and you
will see all 228 titles for nanotechnology.
We also have a rating system, which currently re****ts that one user
has given this novel 7/10, i.e. "Above average", but that's a whole
different can of worms.
