I have a page that will be a grid of a dozen content types. I would like to have a tag-like button or text link above the grid of content to allow the user to toggle / filter between what content type they wish to see. I know that exposed filters allows you to use a dropdown or auto-complete, but is this possible with tags?
You can use Better Exposed Filters for converting your drop down exposed filter into links. Then you can styling your links as tags.
