Matt Mullenweg linked to a post on Aiming for Independence about adding the new tags to your WordPress theme.
Thankfully, much like categories, it is a simple adjustment, requiring only another bit of WordPress specific template code.
>?php the_tags(‘before’, ’separator’, ‘after’); ?<
I, for one, am glad it is so simple to implement and I hope most theme makers will update their themes to include this functionality.
My biggest question is “what will happen if we take the newly updated theme, and place it on a blog running a previous version of WordPress?”
Is there some way to check which version of WordPress is being run, or will we have to put out a WordPress 2.3 only version of each and every theme?

3The sad part is, I knew about using that for checking for plugins and everything, but I didn’t even think to use it to check to see if a core feature was there…
Thanks all (I feel really dumb now).

8[...] 对于主题开发者重要信息！Blogging Pro 在他的 Blog 上询问此事，Nathan Rice 很快回答了这个问题。PHP 允许你在使用一个函数之前，检查它是否存在。如果对你的标签调用增加一个条件，那么标签调用只能对 WP 2.3 用户有效。如果你输入的标签代码没有条件判断，那么 WP 2.2 的用户载入他们的主题时，运行到这个代码就会弹出错误信息。主体设计者可以像这样来包含他们的标签代码： <?php if ( function_exists(’wp_tag_cloud’) ) : ?> [...]
