It's been a very long and difficult process to help people understand the difference between tags and categories, and, unfortunately, it is often made difficult by the confusion and limitations between the two. I wish there was an option for rel="category". I sum up a lot of this in <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/07/03/tags-and-tagging-in-wordpress/" title="Tags and Tagging in Wordpress" rel="nofollow">Tags and Tagging in Wordpress and Everywhere</a>, with some very simple step-by-step points on what a tag is and how to use it. The reality is that anything can be a tag. ANYTHING as long as it is in a link. What you do with the rest of the link is up to you. ;-) As you have learned. Thanks. I’m so glad you “got it”.
