How do you get posted stories for the Beijing 2008 Olympics into the Channel?

I've added all the tags. including 'Beijing+2008', and the last two stories I've posted today about it do not show up at all on the channel.

Do I have to get staff to do it for me?

I see both in the Olympic channel - under the 'recent stories' list.

Hi Rene

The tag was listed as "Beijing+2008" - unfortunately that was a mistake. People should tag their stories "Beijing 2008" (without the + symbol). I've amended this in the page with the instructions. Apologies for the error.

It took two hours? I did include those separately. but when it didn't show on the O channel, I tried the +, do you have to link them togetther like this: ', Beijing 2008,' ? or can they be separate in the tags: ', Beijing, 2008,'?
