What are tags?
Think of tags like categories that help people find your profile, media files, blog posts, etc.
Example: If you play bass and like rock music, you could use 'bass' and 'rock' as your profile tags.
Note: Each time you enter a space, a new tag or link will be created. So if you want to use something like 'blues guitar player' as a tag, you will need to separate the words with an underscore like this: blues_guitar_player.
There is a headline slot on the registration page. I'm not sure what this is for.
Your headline is the title of your profile description. For example, if you play metal guitar, you could use 'Shredder' or 'Metal Star' as your headline. A headline should be something unique and memorable to sum yourself up to the community.
