Totally agree. I think tags should be limited to things that you expect to have "lots" of instances of. I found on my blog that the list of tags evolved over time, as I discovered (for example) that I wasn't referencing Pink Floyd enough to warrant a tag for them (Music would suffice) whereas Peter Gabriel and Magnolia did rate tags. As such, I've learned to not create new tags until they seem to be called for, rather than anticipating that maybe I'll need a tag for something.
Just my 2 cents (U.S.)
If folks are attached to their tags, the list could probably be removed from the template. That information is attached to individual posts, and if someone wants to read more about a particular topic then she can just click the label on that post.
Ironic that Blogger (a Google product) doesn't support something as simple as searching by author, which would remove the need to tag each post with redundant information. I've tried hacking the label-search URL, replacing /label/ with /author/, but no go.
Curious... can blogger do "popular tags" in a http://del.icio.us/tag/ like way? (where more popular tags are larger text, less popular tags smaller text, not all tags visible?)
I'm not attached to tags either way... I use only a single tag on my home blog, and it's really barely tied to the content (more my mood, really).
apparently it's called a "tag cloud" and yes, blogger can do it (as seen here)
I say we go with a tag cloud and not restrict tagging at all.
