 * This is within the loop.
 * I’m trying to create an array by getting the number of tags from each post and
   counting them, then outputting the result (just to check that everything works)
 * What am I doing wrong?
 *     ```
       $counttags=array();
       $posttags=array();
   
       $posttags = get_the_tags();
       $counttags[]= count($posttags);
       ```
   
 * Then, outside the loop
 *     ```
       foreach( $counttags as $key => $value){
       	echo "$key, $value <br />";
       ```

 * `get_the_tags` needs the post ID..
 * Trimmed version… 😉
 *     ```
       echo count( get_the_tags( $post->ID ) );
       ```
