Tags
- use "bold" and "normal" text style
- uniform spelling: do not use "tags" AND "keywords" in the same context
- show the tags (keywords) by upload
- allow the change, add and/or remove tags

- auto completion of tags to avoid so many similar words
- auto correction of spelling
- show all tags by click on "more tags"
- automatic clean up -> upper and lower case
- automatic clean up -> no author or nickname
Search
- search by tags
- search by author
- search by date (latest, 1-3 days, 1-3 weeks, 1-3 months, etc.)
- propose similar existing words
- auto seach: save search request and provide the results at "MyFavorites"
Most Wanted
- provide a new area "MostWanted" to animate people to create new templates from user seach results

- show my search results (e.g. latest templates with tag xy and yxx)
- for authors: see how many users love my templates
