The end of an era approaches.

Steelbuddha set up a space where I can have a real, fully customized blog. Eventually, there will be room for photos and audio clips. After I'm finished sculpting and twisting it, you can visit me over there

Livejournal is easily traversable through scripting; it is not a difficult task to compose a script that can automatically post stuff into LJ.

Indeed. I've actually been toying around with some of LJ's capabilities to receive and post RSS feeds.

Although it does take the 'free' element of LJ away, have you ever played with a payed LJ account? Theres a lot more goodies involved with those as far as design capabilities, audio/video capabilities, and support for some of the aforementioned rss stuffs.

I had a paid account a long time ago, but I let my journal slide back into free status.

I don't honestly know much about current paid service, but I like the idea of having total control over content myself. The new blog is set up with WordPress, so it will be a good opportunity to get my hands a little dirtier than I would have to with LJ.

mmm WordPress. It's what I use to run our website. I also have a website & LJ linked to one another. Seems to work well to hit all the social circles as necessary.

Another option is if the new blogging system has an RSS feed generator built in (most seem too) then just syndicate that through LJ and people can subscribe or use their favorite feed reader/aggregation tool.

I would imagine that it does, and that would make a lot of sense. It's set up with WordPress, which I have to play with a bit. I haven't really paid much attention to RSS/blogging/whathaveyou for the last few years, so I'll have to edumacate myself a bit when I get time.

I didn't know you are 25? You are not my equal. There can be only one.

[daicerio_blue]

Yep, I'm a young'un by NV standards.

Smell that ozone? That's the quickening, bee-yotch.

Really Simple Syndication

I haven't done much with RSS, but if it is something you'd want, I'm happy to learn and then to pass the knowledge on.

I've wanted to learn more about it and similar things for professional reasons, but don't go hitting the books unless it's something you're interested in for your own reasons.

It's more in the realm of "when I get time, I ought to..."

In unrelated news, I'm looking forward to Merchant of Venice on Sunday. :)

After much delaying in getting myself a LJ account, I've decided to start one with WordPress. To my uneducated eyes it seems to have some more easily customizable features than live journal offers. Thanks for the link. See ya there.
