  The help function on tags doesn’t describe how to apply them. It may be obvious to some but not to me. I tried to add a tag (Ageing etc) and associate it with my latest post, without effect. And similarly to remove the “Genes etc” tag from the “If music ..” post, also didn’t work. Is there a “Save” button somewhere that I’m missing?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you haven’t already, check out the Tags support doc, follow the steps, and see if it helps. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/

  With regards to adding a tag to your latest post, how did you add the tags to your previous posts? Are you following the same process with your latest post?

  Make sure you are running a browser and version of it found here http://browsehappy.com

  If you try using the classic editor to create your posts then you may find assigning categories and tags is much easier to do.
