Here are 2 quick examples. Hope this will help to clear things up.

Pic 1 below shows the DG menus. Click on Communities.
Pic 2: At the bottom of the Communities page, click on Tagged Pages (shown)
Pic 3: Shows the top part of the giant cloud of ALL tagged pages. These are the tags created by all DG members. The cloud contains words and phrases in alphabetical order. However, the items at the top of the cloud, those shown in Pic3 consist of nonstandard entries, numbers, etc. You will need to scan down to find the regular alphabetic listing starting with 'a', etc.
Pic 4: Example 1. This shows the part of the cloud where "winter sowing" is found. Note the many different words and phrases related to winter sowing. Here is what one of them shows: http://davesgarden.com/tools/tags/tag.php?tag=winter sowing
Pic 5: Example 2. This section of the cloud shows words starting with the letter 'c', including 'compost', 'composting', etc. The words are set out in blue here but probably won't be blue on your screen (not at 1st). If you click on the word 'compost', for instance, you will see this: http://davesgarden.com/tools/tags/tag.php?tag=compost

Edited to rearrange things, because naturally I got the pics in wrong order.
I hope this helps to better illustrate what I'm talking about. For this exercise, you don't use your bookmarks/tags. You use those created by others, so it doesn't matter if you have never tagged anything. You can still take advantage of things tagged by your fellow DGers. That is how tags are supposed to work.
