      If you refer back to my post earlier in this thread, you’ll see that my template variable that holds tags is just comma separated free text, so I can tag anything I like when I create a post. Obviously the problem with this approach is that you can accidentally create new tags through typos etc, so it should be used with care. Also, one thing I noticed is that the TVTagCloud snippet which you might use alongside this approach is case sensitive, so make sure your tags match otherwise you get 2 entries in the tag cloud.

        John,

        thanks for the info. Yes, I can see the typos or minor changes creating issue. What would be ideal would be an auto suggestion like Drupal has (AJAX driven), or perhaps even better, a dynamically created listing of all available tags.

        This would certainly be helpful for the repository where there are some instances of 2-3 variations that probably should be combined.
