9 and 10 really need to happen. And tag stats would be cool, except people may fall into the trap of thinking they have to use preexisting tags. (Kaius: #articles is pretty general; most of us who post articles regularly narrow it down a bit, and some more specific tags have more followers.)

Don't agree with the rest of the changes, for the record.

You don't agree with ANY of the others? Not even fixing broken links?

Point taken that #articles is a general topic but I think of it as "interesting reads". Some articles fit into an existing tag but others don't and creating a new tag would relegate them to never being seen by anyone really. Sometimes I want to read an interesting article without specifying the topic.

I'm down with #10.

We have the tag #goodlongread -- it's pretty popular. But your point about tags stats is well-taken because without them you might not realize #goodlongread existed.
