    If you go into your blog settings you will be able to disable the tags. Just delete them altogether, I never bother too much with them cos they don't look great.

    Use the "categories" instead, they will keep your posts organized and don't take away so much from the look of blog.

      Thanks Noel.

      If this is the case then why just not enter any tags in the first place and then they won't show??? Have I got the jist here?

      By not bothering with tags, will this effect the raking of the article etc?

      Thanks if you or anyone else can help further.

        Whatever you use, tags and/or categories, set them all as no index to avoid dupe content penalization.

            Ignore it. It is well-meant advice, but it is also irrelevant.

    The location of the tags is a function of the theme. Personally, I would not dispense with them. Perhaps investigate a different theme for better placement.

    People like to know what your message is about. If your tags are consistent with your message, you may interpret it as an eyesore; while your reader interprets it as information about your article. Some people look for the tags before they read the article.

    One of the worst things a blog post can have is a clutter of tags. Users like sites that are simple and clear.
