Clarify blog tag error messaging
As a Steemit user, when I try to edit my tags and re-publish my post, I get an error message that says a "deleted tag" counts as #6 towards my 5 tag limit, which is confusing because I can only see 5 tags listed.
UPDATE ERROR MESSAGE
If a user tries to edit tags by replacing the first tag or re-entering 5 new tags, the** error messaging** should say "Your first tag has been saved as "TAG_name" and cannot be changed, please enter up to 4 tags."
OR
IMPROVE EXPERIENCE
The first tag should be undeletable ("GREYED-out") so when I try to edit my published tags, I can see that #1 is unchangeable.
Static Messaging: "Your first tag has been saved as "TAG_name" and cannot be changed."
WHEN TAGS ARE IN BODY OF BLOG
UPDATE ERROR MESSAGE
**Error Messaging: **"TAG_name, TAG_name, TAG_name" count towards your tag limit, to change these tags please edit them in the body of your blog.
OR
IMPROVE EXPERIENCE
If there are tags in my blog post that count towards my 5-tag-limit, tags should be undeletable "GREYED-OUT" in the tag field.
Static Messaging: "Tags in the body of your blog count towards your 5-tag limit, if you'd like to edit them, please update them through your post."

Edited & fixed to steemit/condenser.
Thank you. Can you now add more information to it?
• A link to your post would be good.
• Did you use any tags inside the post?
• Was it the first tag?
Added req. details to ticket. If technical implications prohibit this fix, then error messaging should be clearer, e.g. "Your first tag has been saved as "crypto" and cannot be changed, please enter up to 4 tags" OR (if tags have been used in the post) "Your blog tags "yada" and "ya" count towards your 5 tags, please enter up to 3 tags." Then always show the number of available tags next to the tag box.
Yeah crypto is your first tag.
Can you edit your report to become a suggestion on how to improve the error messages? That way future readers don't have to evaluate what we did and just see the solution.
Updated to a suggestion around error messaging and blog tag behavior. Could probably be 2 separate suggestions "error messaging" vs "blog tag experience".....

You can not remove the first tag that is crypto, because that's why you mentioned making 6 tags, so you should create 4 tags. Good luck! and this is not a bug
@yandot That doesn't make any sense. I'm allowed 5 tags. I'm trying to edit and re-publish a post with 5 tags (deleted "crypto" and replaced with "cryptocurrency.") If what you say is true, the confusing experience is a bug in and of itself.
I know that steemit can not remove the first tag and replace it with another tag, if you delete and replace it with another tag can only add 4 tags because the first tag will still exist. so you can only add 4 tags only
Thanks. Good to know! Messaging should be a little clearer so other users don't think the tags are broken.
