So, I'm still fairly new to Rais as a framework.  And I'm trying to build a
fairly simple app that's not unlike a blog with posts and tags.

Has someone done tagging in their Rails app and do you have thoughts on the
best practice for adding this?  I see that there's an acts_as_taggable and
acts_as_taggable_on_steroids plugins available.  Alternatively, I could try
to create a separate Tag model and setup a HABTM type relationship between
the posts and tags.

Any experience which suggests the pro's and con's with either approach?

Thanks in advance.

Mike
