Using Multiple Tags On Code Snippets

        I spent a lot of time trying to select snippets with
contain multiple tags. (series60 and sql)
There is no '+' links I can click anymore.
After about 10 minutes of trial and error, I find out how.
This also answer another question on correct use of URL.

# for tag 'series60' AND 'sql'
http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tags/series60/sql/

# this doesn't work
http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tag/series60/sql/

# all of these work (single tag case)
http://bigbold.com/snippets/tag/series60/
http://bigbold.com/snippets/tags/series60/
http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tag/series60/
http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tags/series60/

My conclusion is that.
For a single tag, use '/tag/...'.
For multiple tags, use '/tags/...'.
The first is quicker to type, while the second is flexible in case you want to filter further.

As you note, we used to make this usage public and it was linked, but it caused problems with people crawling us, and rather than fix that problem, I decided to 'cover up' the feature. del.icio.us has a similar feature (with a different URL scheme though) which also isn't publicized. Anyway, good detective work!
