<div> -3D</div><div> -Fractal</div><div> -...etc...</div><div><br></div><div>and also having multiple tags would help classify things, like a 3D Fractal renderer would be under "Image Stuff - 3D" "Image Stuff - Fractal" and probably even under "Math Stuff" (yeah, i know you *love* my technical names :P )<br>
