 * Hi,
 * Via Widgets I placed Tag cloud on Sidebar, but it’s empty.
 * In sidebar.php I can’t find anything about tags?
 * Where to search and how to solve this problem?
 * tnx Adibo.

 * tags will show only if there are posts associated with them. check this case.
 * check this tag in sidebar.php:
 * `<?php wp_tag_cloud( $args ); ?>`
 * or something like this

 * You need to write posts and assign **tags** to those posts as ryans149 explained.
 * There is NO wp_tags table, but rather, a set of 3 “term” tables comprise tags
   and their connections to posts.
