Downloaded the new code last evening an did a bit of poking! Switching to the new version worked well - I don’t know if I did it correctly as I think it was a tiny bit different from the instructions - I copied out my content folder and Params file, then got rid of the whole makesite folder, unzipped the new zip, ran the cmd for the first time, copied in my content and copied over my modified params (I checked it by line so as not to overwrite anything). Anyway, it worked great!
Oh, I’ve also been adding the notes to the top of the home page by including my stuff in the _index.md file.

The podfic tag thing could also have been because I was using a subset of the podfic tag “read by the author” - I’m using the function to merge tags, but I think media tag is detected before that happens. I wasn’t sure - is it possible to somehow specify that a media tag designation should check more than one specified tag? I fixed it with mine by manually replacing the tag with “Podfic” and then it was detected. If it’s not possible, it’s just a small fix for me (or I could go in and double-tag my live ao3 posts).

I also noticed that the media tag designations are also fanfiction (lowercase) but Podfic (uppercase) - I’m assuming this is due to the capitalization of the tag I used? I ran out of time to test if capitalizing Fanfiction in the defaults would have the page match. omit this section - I see it’s part of updates after I ran this!

That’s confusing about the tag label categorization; good luck!

Since these are alpha testing things, I’ll maybe stay here for right now if that’s okay - it might end up being more confusing if these things get tweaked anyway.

I’m super happy to be an alpha user; it’s really fun (and hopefully not bothersome to you - never any expectations of course) and also (cough) is way more fun than doing the testing I’m doing right now for work 😂😬

(I see the other comments - will check in about those later as I’m heading in to work right now.)
