Tags are supposed to make blogging easier. They’re supposed to help you organize your content, make it searchable, and give your readers a way to navigate through your posts. But on Blogger, the tagging system — which they call “labels” — is so bizarrely designed that it often feels like it was created to frustrate users instead of helping them. The problem isn’t just the character limit (which I’ve ranted about already). It’s the way Blogger forces you to enter tags: with commas, no spaces allowed, and an absurd rule that you must put a comma at the very end or else none of your tags will show up. It’s pure insanity.

A music discussion post, for example, might cover a specific band, a specific album, a broader genre, a time period, and maybe even a theme. That’s already at least five or six tags that need to be there to capture the essence of the post. But when Blogger forces you to st...
