Hello: several related questions. #1. Are there any images, here or elsewhere, that I can view as examples of how subject entries are entered correctly (for maximum success/viewing online by ebook buyers) in Sigil's metadata editor? For example if my potential book were on antique coins, a subject would be ANT011000 - and that's it, right?
-Ques. #2: will browsers (and/or ebook sites) rank any non-BISAC (BIC/IBIC) tags I put in there? For example, if in "subject" of Sigil's metadata editor, what if I simply put in the word "pirate", to help readers locate my book if the book was about, for example, antique coins recovered from buried pirate treasure? But if these non-bisac codes don't do anything -they're just words, not codes - why bother? Thanks.
