Just started a wordpress blog (meltonswall.wordpress.com), I understand and have set up categories, but I don't understand Tags, can someone explain what they are, how to use, and if I should use them. Thanks!

Tags in WordPress work much the same way tags here on *Lockergnome.net* work. They're a way to help "bubble up" content that's related and group it together so it's easier to find, such as via a tag cloud.

That said, I'm pretty bad about tagging my entries on my personal WordPress blog. It's just a nice feature, if you are disciplined about tagging your entries consistently. Think of them as keywords, basically...

Tags are a quick way of organizing your posts. If you are not going to use certain keywords often, use tags. Otherwise, go with categories.
