Mr. Engel I'm L.C. May and I have read your NASCAR articles and see your very familiar with it. Even though I am a college football writer and you don't know me I would like to ask a favor of you. My good friend Mitch Kilpatrick just started bleacherreport and is not familiar with it. He knows a great amount about NASCAR but he doesn't know how to make look good with indents, commas, and apostophes. Even if your not a big editing kind of person I would like for you to please edit it. You can find it by typing Mitch Kilpatrick under search and there is only one article. I would greatly aprreciate thanks

Most Bleacher Report writers know Dominick DiFucci. I have asked him to help me organize a fantansy baseball league this season made up of Bleacher Report writers. This could be a blast. If you're interested in joining send me your email address and we will contact with the details. The format has not yet been established and we encourage your suggestions. Also spread the word to people you know on the site as well. It could be an awesome league. I'm a novice at this but Dom is the shits. He knows this stuff inside out and forwards and backwards. Contact me at rsmcloser@cox.net. Do it ASAP. Thanks.

Hey Scott! To answer your questions, limiting tags helps to ensure that an article shows up on only the most relevant searches. As per B/R's standards for tagging, if a person (in our case, a driver) is mentioned just briefly, then that does not warrant a tag. Instead, go for broader tags so your article pops up when someone searches on much broader terms. Hope that helps!!
