You'd typically tag a blog post with a keyword or keyword phrase that is found within the post or could be considered a subcategory that the post would fit in to. That's what tags really are: subcategories. If your blog post was about Boxers (the dog breed), and you already had a Boxer category which the post would be under, appropriate tags might be brindle boxer, fawn boxer, white boxer, war dog, etc. Most importantly, if a surfer was to stumble upon your fawn boxer tag page, any post listed there should mention fawn Boxers.
