Anyway you could add "Pulitzer"?

I'm reading all of them and I'll be making a lot of posts about them and would love a Tag to check others who happen across them.

If not, that's fine. I just saw you added the Orange Prize...

You're the best for going through the tag cleanup, thank you!

One note on the image size limits...if you know how to code an image link, adding dimensions is the easiest thing in the world. No need to download, resize and re-upload an image you want to use. You can hotlink and resize at the same time by using the following code:



See what I did there? Same old IMG tag, just put the height and width right in the string. Easy peasy.

Also, the complete list of tags is always viewable on the sidebar in the community view. I stuck with the list format rather than the cloud, which puts commonly used tags in larger fonts than lesser used tags...I think that format is confusing.

It is new...I even had to get a paid membership for the community to get it (someone sponsored the community after it was in last January's LJ Spotlight, but it expired)! And, much to my delight, this layout allows for a sticky post at the top of the community where we can add moderator news, etc. Very useful!

What about a Terry Pratchett and/or Discworld tag?

I've mentioned it to jadis. We are trying to keep author tags to a minimum as previously things go very out of control and as she said in her last clean up post it is very easy to seach via LJ Seek tool.

As musesong said, we're trying to keep author tags to a minimum. If you already know an author or title that you want to read posts about, LJSeek is really way more useful. The tags are really best used for *types* of books, for when you want to read something in, say, the dystopia genre, but don't know what books/authors fit that bill.
