Second try changes the wording to make it shorter and more like the Categories explanation. Do we really need to explain what tags are in the UI? I don't think we do. We don't explain categories. New wording in tags.2.diff:
Tags (separate multiple tags with commas: cats, pet food, dogs)

- Milestone changed from 2.4 to 2.2
- Version set to 2.2
I don't think we should explain tags, and I don't think we should be using Bubblespeak tags as examples. :-)
Can we move away from underscores in class/ID names? They're not compatible with 100% of browsers, so going forward we should probably be sticking to dashes as much as we can.
As a bigger issue with tags, I think we should be blanking the input box after saving tags, and use Flickr-style for showing existing tags and deleting existing tags.
Add tags (separate multiple tags with commas): [______________________] Existing Tags: [x] San Francisco [x] Parties [x] Venture Capital [x] Everything 2.0
Right now, you have to use your mouse to select a tag (and its leading or trailing comma) and delete it... yech...
As you can tell, I'm a big fan of Flickr's tagging interface.

(obviously this was for Categories, so the hierarchical stuff doesn't make sense)

We can do that Flickr interface stuff for 2.3. Personally I think it's a great idea -- Flickr has some pretty good UI that we can learn from. I believe there was a ticket integrating something else from the Flickr interface somewhere along the line.
For now, IMO we should just focus on getting that input box un-screwed up for 2.2.

(In [5257]) CSS IDs should avoid using underscores for compat with older browers. See http://tinyurl.com/2s99u6 addresses #4140
Make you pretty.
