Tags give you the ability to assign unlimited “subjects” to your blogs, and you can view a “Tag Cloud” of your posts (look at this example, at the bottom of the page). Categories are the primary “folders” or ways to organize your Blog, and you should normally assign your post to just one category. But with tags, you might assign many different ones to a post.

You should now see an “Add Tag” thing on your Blog front-end. It appears at the end of each post, and it looks like this:

the new \'add tag\' widget

Also, in your Dashboard you should now be able to manage your tags. Go to “Manage” and you’ll see “Tags” as something to manage.

For those who used “Ultimate Tag Warrior” (like you, Joe), you need to import those tags into your blog (Go to Manage/Import).

NOTE: If tags are not getting displayed on your posts, your “theme” may need to get upgraded. Let me know.

If you don’t see the “Add Tags” thing, or have other questions about tagging, post a comment, below…

Also, you’ll notice your Firestats count doesn’t look good. That’s too bad. That crazy system didn’t upgrade so smoothly.

Oh, and you’ll also notice new “Social Bookmarking” tags at the bottom of your posts. This is so visitors can tell other people about you and what you’re all about. Soon, if you keep attracting more visitors, you’ll start climbing the popularity charts on the Internet (such as Digg, Technocrati, etc.).

If you’re experiencing any problems, post a comment here…

Attention Blog Owners: in your Dashboard, you can enable Gravatars under the “Presentation” menu.
