The brief description of tags in the documentation seem to indicate that they should behave similarly to categories. However, while categories behave as expected, there isn't any code in blogofile_blog sucking up and processing tags.

So, as I'm thinking about fixing this...

As long as I'm at making Tags behave like Categories, would it be going too far to abstract this to a taxonomy system whereby one can create as many vocabularies as desired (with "categories" and "tags" being the default)? We'd basically be adding one configuration line (plus a couple lines of explanatory comments), and not much more code than it will take to implement tags anyway.

I don't want to keep making a bigger, more complicated plugin, but when we're this close already, a generic taxonomy system seems both small and useful to me.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

At some point we'll have to figure out the balance between blogofile_blog as the plugin that just lets people create a blog (dammit!) and its role as the reference plugin for other development. I don't think that we're at that point yet, in large part because I don't yet have a clear vision of exactly how to define the plugin API. If blogofile_blog really gets too bloated, we can always split parts off into other plugins at some point in the future.

That said, taxonomy seems like pretty core blog functionality that we should have, so contributions welcome...
