What does "taped on a wall" mean?

Friends of Mr. Smith, who had a list of Goldman�s business principles taped on a wall by his computers in London, say they were not surprised by his public farewell. �He has a really high moral fiber and really cared about the culture of the firm,� said Daniel Lipkin, a Miami lawyer who went to Stanford with Mr. Smith. Mr. Lipkin learned about the Op-Ed on Wednesday from Mr. Smith. �He sounded confident and felt good about his decision to go public,� he said.

"taped on a wall" means someone used tape to put a piece of paper with that information on the wall. People can tape things they want to remember on the wall, for example.
