I think that tags make blogs easier to find. You can only have so many categories. Tags enable you to have unlimited categories and to be as specific as you like. There are some nice blog editing programs such as Ecto that have tagging built right in. If not, you can just keep a link in your bookmarks to this page: http://www.technorati.com/help/tags.html You need only paste in the html to the end of your link and then modify the two elements in brackets. It really doesn't take much time and will make your blog more accesible. I have signed up for all kinds of directories, but only receive hits from Glob of Blogs. None of them come close though to Technorati. I certainly think it is worth registering with Technorati and putting a tag at the end of your blog posts. I think that tags make blogs easier to find.
