Nice fix but... Hmm, now the text doesn't line-wrap when the window is narrow.

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
