Finally!
So I finally did it, I merged my 2 LJ accounts together and now this account has public posts! (It's still got it's private stuff, but now there is actual content people can see!) I'll be playing around with it a bit more, customizing layouts and such.
Hopefully I didn't spam anyones f-page with updates, but I'm still a LJ n00b and there was no easy way to merge accounts.
