Problems with stuff we've already got

Shortened versions of most content get "promoted" onto the front page

end of the list of tags associated with the piece. I'd love to find a
way to build the "Read More" link into the body of the post (as is done
in Wordpress and lots of other blogs), but if not that, then to at

Right now the emails that go out from the site have visible html coding (EAW)
