Thanks everyone, again, you are all so helpful. I will have 2 projects
running - one for my family and one for my boyfriend's. Possibly a third,
if I decide to keep his stepfather's line separate. So that is why I
wanted to be able to have tags that would be in all projects
automatically. However, it won't be that hard to add any custom tags to
all projects, I would just need to consistently do it.
