  What exactly do tags do? Do I get any benefits for using them on my blog?

  Tags are basically descriptors of your post. For example if you were writing about the new wordpress dashboard, ya may tag it as 2.7 and wordpress. The benefit is that wordpress.com users can see your tags in like a directory, and click on it, if they find what you’re talking about, to be interesting. So basically, it can increase traffic to your blog, if ya use tags.
