Lorelle, thanks to your explanation on the difference between categories and tags , I think I now actually understand the difference. I would like to copy your explanation into an Edublogs manual I’ve put together for teacher trainings. If I have your permission, how should I credit you in the manual?

Great new resource. WP tags will give a more targeted direction to search content.

@timethief: I've been following these discussions. I do hope developers and WordPress.com are following them, too. This is why I wrote this post. I do believe the administrators of WordPress.com will listen - if we talk to them and not at them. The Support Forums are a great place to let your voice be heard, but you are right. Direct it towards the administrators. The volunteers are not responsible. Nor should they take on the responsibility, which I have also seen. Volunteers should forward pertinent comments to the admin and then wait and see. The rest of us need to let our voices be heard on how we want tags on WordPress.com.

@Lorelle,
The way the introduction of the tagging system has impacted the former categories system at wordpress.com has not sat well with many bloggers. I can attest to this because as usual when bloggers have something negative to say they do not take their complaints tot the top. Instead they direct their unhappiness at unwitting forum volunteers, who has no more information than the other bloggers do about the implementation and effects the tagging system would have on the way categories are treated.

Below are just 2 examples of the kind of responses received. (Note that I chose ones where the bloggers were not rude or acting like drama queens.)
