Ok, I've added the following two lines in ArticleClassSheet when in 
inline mode:
<dt>Tags:</dt>
<dd><input type="text" id="tags" name="tags" size="60" 
value="$!tdoc.tags"/></dd>

..and these lines when in view mode:
Tags:
#foreach($tag in $doc.getTagList())
   <a href="$xwiki.getURL("Main.Tags", "view", "tag=$tag")")">$tag</a>
#end

But I now experience something strange: The tags that I add to a blog 
entry will only stick (added to the database, that is) if I have done a 
shutdown and startup of tomcat after the creation of the blog entry. So 
it seems that only "old" blog entrys may get tags added to them in the 
way I've implemented this. Kinda strange.

You mentioned that I could use a javascript to save the tags. Where 
should such a script be invoked? Also, I've been browsing the xwiki api 
for a doc.setTags-like method, but I can't find seem to find one. Is 
there anyone that can point me in the right direction?



Thanks, and best regards from
