My-Tags WordPress Plugin
This plugin adds the "tag" relation to your categories’ URLs or constructs custom URLs for your category names, eg Technorati tags style, which also have the "tag" relation, and appends a Tags section to your post’s body in single post view and to the item’s content in the feed. Obviously, this could be useful only to those who use the WordPress category system as a tagging system.
See the result at the end of my posts’ bodies.
Installation
Place the my-tags.php file in your /wp-content/plugins/ directory and activate it through the administration panel.
Configuration
By default, the URLs to your categories are being used. But, you can define your favorite URL base. For example, if you set $my_tags_url to the following:
$my_tags_url = "http://technorati.com/tag/";
The Tags section will contain URLs to:
http://technorati.com/tag/Plugins
The above assumes that one of the post’s categories is Plugins.

Christian: I am afraid this plugin would be useful only to those who use the WP category system as a tagging system. It just adds a section like the following at the end of the post’s body in single post view and at the end of the item’s content in the feed:
Tags: Software, Wordpress, PluginsIn my Permalink options I just have set it to use the word "tag" instead of "category". This is why the URLs of my categories are like the following:
http://www.g-loaded.eu/tag/pluginsTo tell you the truth I do not properly understand what you need to do. If your question at the wordpress support forum was more descriptive, I guess there would me more replies.
I also insist that you try some other plugins with much more features which can be found at the relevant codex page:

why do you think I can’t do the same? I’d like to have tags like delicious or flickr, I don’t care about categories. I’ll have another look to the link. Thanks, chr

In this case, my plugin could be useful. I thought you wanted separate category and tag systems. :-)

Unfortunately it seems that you can’t join tags in the url (ie http://www.g-loaded.eu/tag/plugins+software) to have more refined search :( Do you think is possible to hack it manually?

Now I understand what you meant. You need to use tag combinations in order to limit the search results. Very interesting idea. At the moment nothing comes to my mind about how to implement something like that quickly. I believe it needs some work because a way of selecting more than one tags is needed, the rewrite rules need customization, etc. etc. I would not say it’s impossible though.
