    Hi Stephen. I like the way you listed the Course work with tags. Not worked out how to do that yeat. It is a good way of streamlining a Blogsite. I like your category tags too. Is that another gadget? These are really good organising tools.

    The list of categories on the right is using a widget called a “tag cloud” - though in this instance it’s showing categories not tags. For the blogger software I’m sure there will be a widget you can add to your blog that does something similar.

    Tags themselves are part of the template for each post - what I haven’t found yet is a way to list all tags. More research on Wordpress to do - off to the support forum there.
