Under settings/simple tags/embedded tags there is this little warningWhy simple tags decided to do it this way I have no idea as I can not think of a single reason that you would want that feature.

I left embedded tags enabled. I added a footer in BA for some generic tags for each campaign. Like if I'm using an amateur feed I want the tag amateur. So the footer goes something likeThen under manage/autotags/keyword list I added a fairly large collection of keywords.

It's not perfect but it does a pretty good job overall

I hope one of the improvements that happens in BA is that it automatically reads category/tag information in the feed and lets you decide whether to use it or not.

Well that is Just WRONG! who would want to embed tags that don't show up?

Ok, thanks for the work around, I'll put them in a footer like you suggest and do that. Better than having to delete the things every time so the words show up.

You were drunk and I was tired, but we both seemed to make sense, lol.
