Your workspace
Labels
Labels are the sections of your work, in your own words. Every post sits under one label, and the post's address comes from it.

Labels are your sections
A label is whatever you call a part of your work: Writings, Photographs, Things I make. Another person might have Blog, Journal and Field recordings.
- A label can be any words, in any language, with any capitalisation.
- ohm never renames a label or makes one up for you.
- Each label becomes a list on your site, and a folder when you sync.
Sublabels are groups inside a label
Use a sublabel when several posts are parts of one thing: the essays of a series, the photographs from one city.
| On your site | Label | Sublabel |
|---|---|---|
| Writings → the Collisions essays → one essay | Writings | Collisions |
| Writings → an essay on its own | Writings | |
| Photographs → Seoul | Photographs | Seoul |
Most posts have no sublabel. Inside a sublabel, posts read in the order they were written.
The address follows the label
| Label | Sublabel | Address |
|---|---|---|
Writings | Collisions | /posts/writings/collisions/trap-of-independency |
Writings | /posts/writings/elsewheren | |
Photographs | 서울 | /posts/photographs/서울/… |
Things I make | /posts/things-i-make/why-i-started-ohm | |
| none | /posts/other/a-stray-note |
Names are lowercased and their spaces become hyphens. Letters of any script are kept.
Each label and sublabel has an address of its own, such as /posts/writings/, which lists what is in it.
Moving a post
Refiling a post under another label changes its address. Nothing changes for readers until you publish, and Publish shows the new address first.
Posts with no label
A post you have not filed sits under other. It is a last resort, not a section: file the post when you know where it belongs.
Not sure what your labels should be
Ask your agent: "Look at my posts and suggest how to label them." It starts from a plain default, Writing, Photos and Projects, and asks you questions until the structure is yours. The names are always your decision. Your agent
