Blog Tags

You’re going to add Tags to your existing Blog project.

Each blog post has a many-to-many association with tags.

Tags should have :name field describing the type of tag such as "tutorial", "elixir", "testing", etc.

Blogs and tags should be associated through a join table such as posts_tags.
