Tags?

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164312
and it was suggested to bring up this link
wp-includes/widgets.php
to edit but when I linked to
http://www.myblog.com/wp-includes/widgets.php
I got a fatal error.
Maybe that is not the correct link, I'm not sure.
But anyway this plugin made it much easier because I could set the largest and smallest font sizes for my tags and also put them in a straight row so that they don't break into my posts.

Simple Tag is the best tag manager plug in, so following Simon's advice was very good.

If you are going to depend on tags, however, I would dowload the All in One SEO plug-in. The way google is starting to penalize duplicate content, most good SEO folks recommend choosing either categories or tags to allow the spider to follow (you can still have both on your page). All in one will allow you to choose what sections of your blog you allow the spiders to follow.

Normally, I choose to let it follow tags as you get more opportunity to rank higher - you will generally end up with more tags than categories. But, I have a couple of blogs that the categories are deep and competitively dominant, in which case I use the categories as the open follow link.

You can grab the plug in here

Once you install it, it is fairly self-explanatory.
