what are post tags

What are tags?
Tags are one-word descriptors that you can assign to any of your posts. Tags can't contain quotation marks or whitespace, but are otherwise unrestricted. You can assign as many tags to a post as you like, and rename, delete, add or merge tags together.

What are tags good for?
Tagging can be a whole lot easier and more flexible than fitting your information into preconceived categories. If you want to post an article about a little known Greek philosopher, just tag it with "philosophy greece" or whatever other tags you'd want to use to find it again. You don't have to rely on the designer of the system to provide you with category for Greek philosophy. You just make up tags as you need them.
