You want a dropdown of all your tags?  I'm not sure that's the best  
way to go about it.  What happens when your site ends up with  
thousands of tags?  The dropdown will be huge, and your site will be  
really slow to load because of the giant DB query and bandwidth issues).

Maybe a "search tags" textbox on the tags page would be better?
