Lens Workshop Addon for Firefox

When editing the tags for a lens, each one is color-coded depending on it's popularity.

100+ - lots lenses use this tag
21 - 99 - some lenses use this tag
5 - 20 - a few lenses use this tag
2 - 5 - not many lenses use this tag
zero or 1 - no other lenses use this tag

New in version 1.8: underneath the tags will be a list of suggested tags, based on what other similar lenses use for theirs.

It is best to pick tags that are popular, as it increases the number of lenses that your lens will appear on via the Discovery Tool. Make sure that any keywords you pick are directly related to your lens. Avoid using 'long tail keywords' as these will add no value.
