Adding custom tags to a blog in Webflow can be easily achieved by using the CMS (Content Management System) and a multi-reference field. This allows each blog post to have a unique set of tags. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to implement this solution:

  1. Create a Collection: Start by creating a Collection in the Webflow CMS for your blog posts. You can name it something like "Blog Posts."

  2. Add a Multi-Reference Field: In the Collection settings, add a multi-reference field called "Tags." This field will allow you to select multiple tags for each blog post.

  3. Create a Tags Collection: Now, create another Collection called "Tags." This Collection will contain all the tags that can be assigned to blog posts. Add a text field to this Collection called "Tag Name."

  4. Create Tag Entries: In the "Tags" Collection, create entries for each tag you want to use. For example, if you have tags like "Web Design," "SEO," and "Content Marketing," create entries with these tag names.

  5. Assign Tags to Blog Posts: In the "Blog Posts" Collection, edit each blog post and assign the relevant tags from the "Tags" Collection using the multi-reference field. You can select multiple tags for each blog post.

  6. Design the Blog Template: Now you can design the blog template to display the tags for each blog post. You can use a Collection List to loop through the tags assigned to a blog post and display them on the page.

By following these steps, you'll be able to add custom tags to your blog posts in Webflow, and each blog post will have a unique set of tags. This solution allows for easy organization and filtering based on tags, enhancing the user experience and making your blog more search engine friendly.
