Your second parameter to register_taxonomy should be the post type you want the taxonomy to apply to, or an array of post types.

      register_taxonomy('blog_tags','post',array(
        'hierarchical' => false,
        'labels' => $labels,
        'show_ui' => true,
        'show_admin_column' => true,
        'update_count_callback' => '_update_post_term_count',
        'query_var' => true,
        'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'blog_tags' ),
      ));

Will make this taxonomy show up for the built-in post post type.

What you need to do is specify both the custom post type you're using and the taxonomy you're registering. In your code, you used blog_tags for both, and that won't work.

If you want to add the tag taxonomy to a blogs custom post type, you would do so with the following:

register_taxonomy('tag', 'blogs', array(
    'hierarchical'          => false,
    'labels'                => $labels,
    'show_ui'               => true,
    'update_count_callback' => '_update_post_term_count',
    'query_var'             => true,
    'rewrite'               => array( 'slug' => 'tag' ),
));
