I just explored over to Manage Tags on Dreamwidth, and was alarmed to discover I have used 993 of the 1000 allowed tags. But I have 59 tags with 0 uses (could not figure out how to delete these in LJ), and 518 with 1 use. Some of the empty tags came from changing my mind about how to tag something (e.g. singular vs. plural); some are misspellings. Some of the one-off tags could be ditched, but others serve the very useful function of finding that one journal entry, should I ever want it. (Not long after LJ introduced tags, I went through all my old entries and tagged everything. It's been useful.) I couldn't figure out how to delete the unused tags on LJ, but DW seems to provide for it, so this cleanup will give me a bit of a cushion.Thank you donnad for the links to LJ's tag management and the FAQ reference!977 tags used on LJ, 57 with 0 uses, 510 with one use. LJ's management page doesn't show the total used or available, but otherwise looks pretty similar to DW's.If you edit an entry's tags on Dreamwidth, it does not update the matching entry's tags on LiveJournal.

My total count of tags differs by only 1 today (July 10), instead of the 16 reported yesterday. But the tags pages for both sites both give me the same 795 tags (with some per-tag count differences), not the 933( LJ)/934(DW) count from my profile page.
