Limit to the number of tags?

Is there a limit to the number of tags you can use? I’ve tried to add a couple more, but they won’t stay. thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What tags are you adding? I believe you can’t use tags that are also the same as your category names.

All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts
If you have assigned a combined total that exceeds 15 Categories/Tags to your posts, you need to edit and delete. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/ After removal of the excess categories and/or tags note it may take several days for your posts to begin displaying there.

i’m trying to add the word “holland” as a tag.
i have 5 categories and 11 tags.
maybe i have to delete some.
thanks -
this is the block of categories and tags you assigned to a single post:
This entry was posted in Canadian Army, korean war, military history, PPCLI, Uncategorized and tagged 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, Battle of the Bulge, Canadian Army, Croix de Guerre, D-Day, Drop Over the Rhine, Kapyong, Korean War, PPCLI, Princess Patricia”s Canadian Light Infantry, Roy Rushton. Bookmark the permalink.
Create a default category http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#setting-the-default-category
Note that duplicating Categories and Tags by using the same terms considered to be tag spamming.
You are inadvertently spamdexing AKA tag spamming. And, you ought to be more concerned about your posts not appearing and being well ranked on Google and Bing SERPS (search results pages) than not appearing on the WordPress.com Topics pages because it’s search engines that send a significant flow of traffic to blogs and they can choose to bury your content where the sun don’t shine for tag spamming.
The rule of thumb is to assign to your posts the least, not the most, combined number of only relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the individual post content.

ok thanks for the guidance. i find this whole tag/category business to be very confusing. i didnt mean to be a “tag spammer”

thanks again. i’ll start culling. in one of the links you sent the guy said he used zero tags.

What I would do is create Categories for the biggies like Canada, Military History, Korean War, and PPCLI, for example. Then I would set one of them as the default category.
P.S. On a personal note I’m so glad to see you are honoring our First Nations (Aboriginal) Vets.

ive just set korean war as the default category.
when i was a television news reporter for the cdn broadcasting corp i did many stories relating to aboriginals in the cdn armed forces .. including cdns who served in the u.s. armed forces in vietnam. i also knew a native war hero called tommy prince who was the in the devils brigade in italy and france (and became canadas most decorated soldier) and later fought at kapyong in korea. when i met him in the mid-70s he was in pretty bad shape and sadly died in poverty in manitoba in the late 70s. hes still quite the hero in that province.
thanks again for all your tips. -
