Abstract

A software system and method that allows website readers to create and store comments pertaining to website content, with tags identifying the comment, so that the comments may be easily retrieved at a later time. An administrator accesses a website to enter data (e.g. HTML code) for creating reader comment and tag. When the webpage containing the code is posted to a website, the code results in a reader comment and tag display page where website visitors can comment on the content of the website, and create one or more tags that identify their comment. Comments and tags are then saved at a local or remote website database accessible to the reader. A reader can find their comments that they posted on various websites stored within their database record by searching the database for comments with a particular tag. They can also assign new tags to their stored comments.
