The following describes what I do on my wiki (not for the blog part
though), I just use standard DokuWiki features:

I use normal wiki links at the bottom of the pages wich point to a page
that represents a "tag" ie:

    **Tags:** [[:tag:foo]], [[:tag:bar]]

On those "tag" pages I use the backlinks plugin to show the list of
pages which link to the page. So, new tags can be created by just
linking to them, the referenced pages by each tag are part of the
metadata of the "tag" page itself and its *embedded* as they`re just
normal wiki links.
