Oops, sorry! I saw that you didn't have a huge number of followers (yet!) and thought perhaps you were "a new kid on the block" and didn't know about tagging. I've met people with "four digit" followers who have been here for ages and didn't know.
It's also a good thing to do anyway, so people who don't know the person can click on the tag and maybe follow, read etc. :)
How lovely that you and Marcia are connected outside of Medium! I've now got a bunch of friends through this amazing community. Sure didn't expect that when I joined!
