I was about to write a blog about how we are only halfway through the month but then realized that we only have a few days left 😮 In the past day I've had April showers in March bringing May flowers, and March snowstorms killing any May flowers that popped earlier than April.

Story Tags and Genre Updates

If you saw the announcements, I have been tweaking both Genres and Tags as we lurch ever closer to our major software update going to version 5 of Invision Community.  Invision has altered how they are handling tags and as such, we have to change Stories as well.  One of the nice things coming is that readers will be able to subscribe to genres and tags so when new stories get posted in the genre or with a tag, they'll get notified.  Though I'd only follow the more obscure ones, so you are burie
