Just as a kind of mini cheat sheet for using git tags:

Adding a tag:

<ul>
<li><code>git tag tag_name</code></li>
<li><code>git tag</code><br />
<em>Should show your new tag.</em></li>
<li><code>git push origin --tags</code> or <code>git push origin :tag_name</code><br />
<em>Because <code>git push</code> doesn't push tags.</em></li>
</ul>

Removing a tag:

<ul>
<li><code>git tag -d tag_name</code></li>
<li><code>git tag</code><br />
<em>Should no longer show your tag.</em></li>
<li><code>git push origin :refs/tags/tag_name</code><br />
<em>Because <code>git push --tags</code> doesn't push deleted tags.</em></li>
</ul>

Hope that helps.
