If you set your lj style to S2, you'll be able to see the tags displayed on your entries. Then you can just click on them; they're links, and it will pull up any entries with that tag. That's the only functionality that works so far, as far as I know, and it doesn't even work well yet. :)

Thank you, Sera! gardenista August 17 2005, 22:38:32 UTC

That's very helpful! :o)

Hey... I'm guessing you probably unfriended me because of some of my icons or whatever. (Since I saw your post on WLS regarding that) but now I can't read any of your friends only entries :P It's cool if you wanted it that way, just asking.

I'm sorry Ashley. I don't think I have the right to ask my friends to change their icons, and I didn't know about the placeholders thing until just yesterday. I'll have to engage that and then add you back. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings. I certainly didn't mean to do that. I hope you understand.

Oh no it's fine :) I totally understand. I use friends groups if I just wanna see a certain group at one time.

Example...
http://www.livejournal.com/users/_peoplelikeyou/friends/people <--is just people
http://www.livejournal.com/users/_peoplelikeyou/friends/communities <--is communities

Makes it nicer if I've been gone a while and wanna catch up with a certain group. I could put them into even smaller groups if I wanted too.

Oy, I feel so retarded! Okay, so how do I make these groups? I mean, how do I view them? Do you have links somewhere to just click on, or do you type that out each time. I'm sorry for sounding so lame. I think I need the "For Dummies" version.

LJ Archive is pretty effective at this. Although it makes you download your LJ to do it.

gardenista September 25 2005, 22:56:47 UTC

If you don't mind me asking..... and then what happens? Do you have to search by tags, or does this action make the whole thing searchable without tags?

(Gosh, I guess this means it has been a long time since I made a public journal entry.)

:o)

It was the third one down, and it makes your entire LJ searchable. It's pretty awesome! I found it from ubiquity's LJ.
