Hi Nathan,

this is what we call the entry summary. It displays a brief swatch of the entry body itself, and links to the entire content wit a Read more... link. You don't need to enter it manually: if you want the first lines of the body to be used, then let the summary to be auto-generated by leaving the summary box empty (remove also unwanted empty tags switching to source view).

Tags are different: to make a long story short, tags are small words that are linked to content pieces to easily identificate what the content is about. Tagging solutions gather all tags used on all the content into tag lists or tag clouds with enhanced visual styles and display them to the user. When the user clicks on a particular tag, the tag engine shows a list of the content pieces that where linked to the specific tag.

I hope I was clear, if not please let me know. This good article on Wikipedia may help you understand better what a tag is.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa
