  I don’t real want to enter tags for each post. Is there some way that I can auto tag my posts?

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

  For search engines, tags and categories are exactly the same thing. So you don’t have to enter tags at all. You can go to Posts>Categories and create a new category, then go to Settings>Writing and set it as your Default Post Category.

  You can also enable Zemanta on your blog, and it auto-suggests tags, so you can just click on the ones you think apply best. It’s pretty good.

  Ok thanks a lot!

  I was reading online and found a something called a “simple tag” plugin. But I coudn’t find any plugin button on my dashboard. Im assuming that plugins are not available on wordpress.COM..?

  We don’t allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org.

  In this case, I recommend using Zemanta as mentioned above.
