Just so you're all aware, I've taken on the task of going through the entries from the very start of the community to add tags. On a lot of older entries, the blog links are broken. I'm commenting on those entries with a "Link Fix" that directs any later viewers to the blog in question and, if the blog was short, a copy of the blog itself. If you get one of these comment notification emails you can either ignore it, or edit your post to put in the correct link; it's up to you.

We want to make sure that all the blogs that have been flogged can easily be found by the topics they covered. Also, anytime you may be looking for a specific entry that someone has posted, we want to make sure you can just search by tag and find it. I haven't gotten very far yet, as some of the early blog flogs covered a lot of ground *pointed glance at

dwg* and fall under several tags, but we will get through them all, I promise.

I've also added a "notable blogs" tag meant to make certain blogs easily accessible. The infamous blog about using calendars for research is a good example. If there are any blogs of hers that you think qualify as notable, or that you think will be referred to for years to come, comment and I'll add them in.

Right now, we have the community set up so that anyone can add tags to any entry, but only maintainers can create tags. If you see an entry that you think needs a certain tag, feel free to add it; if it doesn't exist, drop a line to the mods with a tag suggestion and we'll consider it. Likewise, if you end up thread-jacking and you think you'll want to look back on a particular discussion later on, feel free to add the appropriate tag.

For instance, if a blog flog post about LKH's tortured past ends in a long comment discussion about Edward (not the sparkly one), then feel free to tag the entry. Keep in mind that mindless, unnecessary tagging will get the privilege taken away; if an entry and its comments have nothing to do with BDSM wank and the tag gets added, the mods will notice, and change the community tag settings if it becomes a bad habit.
