  I want to know what I must do so that all the Tags do not appear at the end of each post. Do I need to upgrade, change templates, or what?

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

  Do you mean on the front page of your site (http://smoreforwomenblog.org/), or on individual posts (ex: http://smoreforwomenblog.org/2013/01/21/making-plans-right-choices-for-single-moms/)? If on the front-page, there might be some themes that don’t display all the tags, but I don’t know of any off the top of my head. As for individual posts, all themes will display all of the tags. If you don’t them all to be there, you shouldn’t put as many tags.

  Also, please note that having many many tags does NOT help your SEO if your tags are not related to your content, and as we mention in our support documentation, “The more categories/tags you use, the less likely it is that your post will be selected for inclusion in the topic listings.”

  Yes, on the too many tags. I was advised wrongly. So yesterday I started changing all of them to have less than 10-12 tags.

  I’ve seen some blogs that looked cleaner and didn’t show tags. That was why I asked about hiding the tags at the end of each post.

  I’ve been working for years on this blog and still not pleased with the low traffic. I realize I have a narrow target group. I’ve read the books and what WordPress has on this topic.

  So you have any other suggestions?

  Thanks for your quick reply.
