  A while ago, I read of the WP global tags. How do I add specific WordPress tags to a post?
  I can’t seem to work out how, and it is not mentioned how to do this.
  Am I overlooking something, or are global tags not yet usable? They already exist though, as you can see in the link in the News Item.

  They are automaticly produced by the categories you have chosen to post under. Here’s one of your cats, note the “tag” in the url:

  Ah, I see :) I thought they had to be defined manually, like you do with Technorati tags.

  Thanks for the quick reply!

  Nope, just add the categories and that’s it. :)

  Here’s the global culinary tag:

  (Not much there… yet.)

  Is there a tutorial on how to add Technorati tags?

  BTW, things you add as categories are automatically picked up by technorati as “tags”.
