Don't test if Post::tags is empty before
getting tags. There may be a performance
hit for this. It can be dealt with if it is
noticable. Fixes ticket #1235. Props to ilo
for the patch.

Note that Post still needs to be updated to
use real Tags, not an array of slug/label
pairs as the tags member.

RULE 9
IF YOU DIDN’T
FIX IT -
IT AIN’T FIXED

Five Whys
The page is blank: Why?
There is a fatal error: Why?
No mb_check_encoding(): Why?
mbstring is not installed: Why?
It isn’t part of the build: Why?
It was setup for another project.

The Rules
1. Understand The System
2. Make It Fail
3. Quit Thinking And Look
4. Divide And Conquer
5. Change One Thing At A Time
6. Keep An Audit Trail
7. Check The Plug
8. Get A Fresh View
9. If You Didn’t Fix It, It Ain’t Fixed
