  Is there any setting to default to “local” tags instead of global?

  Ideally, what I’d like to do is when a user clicks on a tag – ie; “powerpoint” – it searches my blog instead of all WordPress blogs that have used that tag. I know that users can click on my tag cloud widget, which I have, but being able to click the tags in the post info would be a little bit more intuitive. If it makes a difference, I have purchased the CSS upgrade.

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

  There is no way to do that, even with the CSS upgrade.

  then why do the category and tag widgets search locally?

  That is how your readers find what you are writing about.

  The global tags allow people who have never heard of you to find your blog.
  Here is a discussion about how global tags also benefit you:
