There was some discussion on the Irish blogs group list some time ago about adding tags to posts. My problem with that was that I didn’t want to make more work for myself ie. I like posting without having to jump through hoops to do “funky” things with my posts. A WordPress plugin I’m currently testing should, at least in theory, make this a bit easier.
You simply chuck the keywords into the keywords box under the editing space. It should automatically feed the tags into technorati and do a whole load of other things which I haven’t had a chance to really explore.
Edit:I’ve now added a “keyword cosmos”
Tagging entries
If you made a category entitled “irishblogs” then I think everything posted to that category would be hoovered into http://www.technorati.com/tag/irishblogs even without you pinging technorati. Works for me.

I know, but I don’t really want an “irishblogs” category. I can tag posts as “irishblogs” and maybe even tag ALL posts with “irishblogs” by default.
I’ve been looking into the way technorati and others handle tagging and this plugin seems to be able to give me a lot more flexibility.

I would like to see you display your keyword cosmos. The Radar.Oreilly cosmos is very informative.

It’s already there. See: http://www.mneylon.com/blog/cosmos/
It’s not 100% complete yet, as it works on certain elements existing in the database, but it gives a fairly good overview
