  Hello! I understand you want to add additional tags to your posts?
  That’s easy to do.
  You just go to your Dashboard > Posts and select the post you want to update the tags for; you then click on Tags and a “Add New Tag” screen shows up. Name your tag and you are up & running!

  Check out the “Adding Tags via the Dashboard” section on this page:

  That should help :)

  What’s the actual question? Never use more than 15 categories and/or tags on a post otherwise you’ll be classed as a tag spammer.

  Also, using ” Uncategorized” as a category is wasting one of your potential tags.

  Using “#” is not useful here on WordPress.com:
