I\u2019ve reported this to Flipboard, but the system is automated \u2014 and there\u2019s nothing I can do about it. If I happen to mention something in an article, the automated algorithm at Flipboard often randomly picks that extraneous item as a tag. The article above, for instance, is about making personal changes inside yourself. I compared it to the process of renovating a crumbling old house which has been abandoned, so the Flipboard software thinks the article is about home flooring. Another recent article mentioned Tom Hanks \u2014 though it was about something entirely different \u2014 so the software tagged it as being about Hanks. So if you end up here expecting to read about flooring or about Tom Hanks, I apologize. I\u2019m aware of the issue, but it\u2019s a Flipboard problem beyond my control. I\u2019ll keep looking for a way to change it if I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you get here from Flipboard, you might have noticed that many of the keywords with which Flipboard tags my stories are horribly inaccurate.
