I couldn't agree more with this. Use what's built in to the system
already. When I was new to Del, I thought it would be great to have a
separate author field. But you know, using a plain ol' tag like
"AuthorName" works just fine. (I suppose one could get fancier and use
"author:AuthorName" or some other convention to distinguish between
pages by vs. pages about that person, if desired.) I modified the
script for my post button to automatically grab the author name(s) from
the page (if supplied in the metadata) to use as a tag.
