Tags won’t display on post

thank you! (nice hair!)

strange . . . I put the tags lines in “THE LOOP” and the tags still won’t come up.

What did you use? I tend to go for something like <?php the_tags('<ul><li>',',</li><li>','</li></ul>');?>

first I tried:
<p><?php the_tags(); ?></p>

then I tried:
<?php
the_tags(‘Tagged with: ‘,’ • ‘,’
‘);
?>

bump. Any ideas? Anyone?

I’ve got the same problem – my theme is pretty old “Fall Season”

Could that be halting the tags?
