Yes, I shouldn't have started it. I thought it was time I did something about a tag cloud, and I happened to find this, which I realized is completely differently, when I was searching for information on tags, and I thought it might be useful.

HTML META - Tags Plugin updated.
Integration with "Tagging of entries"?
This is a great plugin! Thank you!
I am wondering, how this plugin works with the Tagging of Entries plugin, which has the feature: "Number of meta keywords to embed in HTML source (0: disabled)"
I have been using this plugin for a long time. I like it.
Do I have to disable the above feature and copy and paste the tags into the keywords field of your META Tags plugin?
That would not be good.
Ideally, both plugins would complement each other, i.e. both the tags from the "Tagging of Entries" as well as from your plugin feature for META-Keywords could be used. This is what I am currently doing.
I would like to ask you whether this is good for SEO. Or does it confuse Google to have two separate lines for Keyword tags?

Are the search engines smart enough to combine the keywords from both plugins?
Thanks for helping me out.

I have never personally turned that option on within the freetag plugin - I didn't even realize the option existed!! 
I cannot think of any easy way to combine the 2 values. If someone else can, they can either make the modification themselves, or share the idea and I will happily do it.
Ultimately, my understanding is that meta keywords are irrelevant to SEO due to their prior abuse. I do not know if the search engines are smart enough to combine them on their own. Anyone else?
