I can't edit tags, there's copy there from a previous post that I can't delete
-
When I go to add tags, while my document is still a draft, there is already text in the tags box. I can’t remove it. I have tried highlighting the tag and hitting the delete key. Nothing works. What”s more, the text is t is from the published copy of a previous post.
Equally confusing, I checked the help section on tags and it shows an entirely different configuration from what I see.
In the help section, tags are shown as being entered in a box in the lower right portion of the screen. In my case, the place to enter tags is to the left of my draft. All I know is that when I type in a tag that shows up in in the tags box it shows a blue-ish background and I can delete it. However, when I highlight this other text that is in the tags box and IT turns blue, I can’t delete it. What’s going on?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Nope. Nothing. Weird. I’ve never used tags before in my blogs and today when i went to put some in, there’s the entire text of previous blog. Weird.

Mine just gives me the option of all the tags I’ve used in previous blogs, but won’t let me do any new ones .

Well, even though I couldn’t get rid of what was there from past blogs, I did put it the tags in that I wanted for this blog. And they did go in as i called for them to…

I tried again this morning and still can’t put in any tags original to my new blog post. How frustrating.
