How to Remove Tags on Tumblr Themes
One of the most distinct features of Tumblr is the ability to make modifications to themes quickly and easily. Features such as descriptions, dates, tags and avatar photos can be added or removed by directly editing the theme's HTML code. Tags are a popular feature of blogs since they allow easy access to other posts on similar topics. Tags on Tumblr have the added functionality of making your post publicly searchable by Tumblr users monitoring that tag. Those who want more privacy can opt out of using tags entirely.
