I haven't yet uploaded the WordPress upgrade to this blog but have started playing around with it on the UKeiG Web 2 support blog (http://ukeig.wordpress.com/). The tags are listed under the main posting so people can click on one of them to see other postings on the topic. There is also now a tag cloud widget that you can put in your sidebar. Personally, I prefer to use a search box but everyone thinks and works in a different way so it will be interesting to get feedback from people on all of these approaches to indexing/tagging/searching blogs.

Do you think they will be genuinely useful? I have yet to use the new tags functionality; I am waiting until I have considered the consequences as I am not entirely convinced about their usefulness.
