The display of tags on items in the resource page was design to put one tag into each corner of the item:

To me this is weird. Your eyes are supposed to scan all corners to find what the library is?

So in the example above... you read "library" then to find out what type of library you have to look to the opposite corner of the image?

That seems very unfriendly to finding resources and is odd... never seen any design like this before. Maybe you put different things in each corner, but the same information across corners is weird, IMO.

Something like this is simpler code wise, more flexible (you can have more than 4 tags), and easier to read:

This changes the layout and adjusts the sizes of the tags to fit a little tighter.

Also note these tags are not clickable within the item. They probably should be and when that happens it should trigger the page filter to filter by that tag.

Note open-source is possibly a bad tag. Almost all MG content is open-source... maybe tagging paid for things that cost money is better.
