You need use the Tag struct and pass that in when you create a Post. So you need something like:

let newTag = Tag(name: "My Name")

and then 

let firstPost = Post(title: "Oliver Twist", author: "Charles Dickens", tag: newTag)

It stands for moderator. I'm a student here, but they've invited some of us that answer questions really well and can help other students to moderate the community and help out.
