 * I already use categories on my website but would like to also use tags for people
   doing searches. I’m really confused here, sm not sure what to do or how to do
   it to get started with the tags though. Somewhere I read the “Twenty Eleven” 
   theme might automatically add tags – is this true? – and where in the process
   of writing a post does this happen?? Is there anything I need to do first and
   how do I do it?? I recently changed from “Twenty Ten” theme to “Twenty Eleven”
   in hopes of making this process easier.
 * My site is….

 * Any and all advice would be most appreciated – and thank you for your time!!

 * You can add tags when writing a post.
    There should be a box which says ‘tags’,
   if not check the ‘Screen options’ on the top-right part of the writing page and
   select ‘tags’.
 * Here you can add tags (seperate them by comma’s). What people mean when Twenty
   Eleven automatically does tags is that your tags are now automatically showed
   on the front-end of your website.

 * Exactly the same way; in your post-overview just click on a post and you’ll find
   the tags-box in the same location as when creating a new file.
 * Type all the tags you would like to add, separated by comma’s and click on ‘add’
