See, I'm not sure I've tagged effectively at del.icio.us: when I looked at the resultant tag cloud it seemed too diverse. Of course that could be because I'm not very narrowly themed, or because I use del.icio.us for too many purposes.
I remember reading about tagging methods, but if I remember one of the conclusions correctly (use numerous relevant keywords) they may have been for bookmarking even specifically Flickr and/or del.icio.us purposes. When one cannot search for words in the content more tags might help, although good descriptions might be better if they can be searched.
But when it comes to a blog, an overabundance of tags could be counterproductive.
How can I tell what will be a useful category? Sometimes my first thoughts for tags are keywords from the content, for which (now that I have a technorati widget instead of relying on Blogger's search box) I can search rather than cluttering my (admittedly as yet non-existant) label list.

ABOUT COMMENTING HERE:
1. You can use some HTML tags, such as <b>, <i>, <a>
2. Apparently blogspot requires that we allow third party cookies for the darn feature to work. Sorry, nothing I can do about it - Google will lead you to instructions.
3. I don't generally post on contentious issues so I don't expect problems.
However, I will delete comments I consider:
disrespectful, destructive, irrelevant or SPAM, (even sucking up: praising my post without reason while linking to a business site).
