They look good that way, organized.  I just clicked on my Kim Addonzio poem, and I'm still unable to get it to accept her hashtag, did anyone else have that problem?

I'm not quite sure what the deal is, but it is possible the theme slipped through the cracks and was never created.

There was low participation in that particular comp, given it was during NaPo 2019. We only had 10 entries, but then several disappeared due to "account deactivations" and the result was then below the minimum of 8 necessary for an actual theme page to generate.

I just submitted the theme manually. If it doesn't get created soon, I will enquire with the Webmiss .

Thank you for alerting us to this, PR!

Webmiss notified me that she has just added #KimAddonizio, so everyone go ahead and tag your entries!

Edit: Err ... maybe ... the tag at least pops up when you type it in ......

Perhaps "Evil" up there is really a mascot in disguise?
