Labels

In order to help readers sift through old posts, there are labels applied to each entry. I assume you know what they are, but just in case I'll explain them. On any given post, we attach a label or few based on what the topic of that post is; that way, in searching for posts about a specific player or topic, you can simply click on that label to find them grouped neatly together. Alternatively, you can search the blog (in the top left corner of the page) for any term, but that will bring up all posts where that combination of words appears, which serves its own purpose.

Anyway, the purpose of this page is to let you know what each of the labels mean, although most of them are pretty self-explanatory. Click on any of them to read all posts with that label.
