Google’s Beta testing its new service designed to improve Google’s image library. The concept is that you ‘tag’ the image randomly displayed to you and an anonymous partner.

So how does this help all 5.999 billion other citizens of the world? When you tag the image (provided you and your partner do so sensibly), your tag will be added to the image.

Many (and I mean many) people have been asking for a quick tutorial, teaching them how to create their very own blog. My response has always been "soon" or "when I get round to it" as the sheer magnitude of writing a series that answers all of these questions, all varying in their own way.
