Similar but not the same

Although the tag list for Advancement stories, news and school blogs are very similar to each other, they are not identical and they are different lists entirely. Blogs, news articles and Advancement stories do not share taxonomies.

If you click on an 'Alumni' tag while viewing a blog, you'll see a list of related blogs only.  The list will not include news articles or Advancement stories.

If you click on an 'Alumni' tag while viewing a news article, you'll see a list of related news articles only.

If you click on an 'Alumni' tag while viewing an Advancement story, you'll see a list of related Advancement stories only.
