The other thing I meant to mention - (maybe it's more a question) - Are tags going to be phenomenally easier to work with?
example: right now - tagging multiple entries is not possible (at least not anywhere that I've been able to find), which is kind of a stupid implementation to make 5 or 6 years down the road. 'Hi! Have this cool new organizational feature for tagging one entry at a time. But if you wanna go back and tag old stuff, well, you'll just have to do it the hard way. Yes, even if you have umpteen thousand posts. Sorry.' (total evidence of me being from the same school of thought as Denise - if you're gonna put it together, do it right the first time and make an effort to anticipate the needs of the users, rather than having to go back and fix it 17 times later) Love the tags feature, don't love that you can't go back and click a bunch of tickboxes to tag all 170 fic posts as 'fic' or all 50 posts about 'fishing' or 'widget repair' or whatever all at the same time. re: the profile page - I don't 'hate' it, I just don't 'love' it. I like the organizational idea of it, but I'm not sure I like where things live on the page. Granted, part of that is the way I work - my visual-kinetic responses get tied to where things 'live', therefore, if it gets MOVED, my hands don't know where to go to find it anymore and there's 'retraining' involved. I learn 'kinetically' (by doing) - so every time something MOVES, it makes things that much more difficult for me to find.
