Thanks for the info. Unfortunately single_cat_tag() doesn't output
anything for me. As for the tag cloud, I had converted all of my
categories to tags (I wont run categories anymore) and just wanted to
exclude the 'uncategorized' tag from the cloud. The uncategorized tag
also 404s so I have no idea what is even uncategorized anymore.
This is the top of my theloop.php, fairly similar to the code you posted:
<?php if(have_posts()){
$post = $posts[0];
if(!is_single() && !is_home() or is_paged()){?>
<div class="pagetitle">
<h2>
<?php if (is_tag()) { ?>
Posts tagged '<?php single_cat_title(); ?>'
<?php } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
Archive for <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?>
