Tools to Spiff Up Your LJ-Browsing Experience

[gnatkip]

I like gizmos, and I'm a big believer in the customization and personalization of things in general. I'm very satisfied with my LJ experience at the moment, and I thought I'd share some of the tools I've found. [ETA: Now with Part Two]

A word of caution: Some of these things I use every day, and some I'm only faintly familiar with. I am not

Ooh, neato. Some fabulous stuff here, thanks. :-)

People come up with the most clever things, don't they. Glad you found it useful!

Thanks for pointing out that Showcase extension! I usually end up having to click through a ton of tabs while drawing and looking for a reference picture too, and this gives a great overview. *beams*

A very cool thingamabob, yes. Glad I could point it out!

this is awesome. i read the link to Semagic but it looks as if it is not a Mac compatible product? Is this correct?

[gnatkip]

Ah, yes, I believe that's true, sorry. I edited that in.

LJ lists several clients for different platforms, but Semagic's the only one I've used. Maybe you could find something there?

Thank you very much for the links -- clearly I have some researching to do! :).

First you need the Greasemonkey extension. Then when you click the "install" link for whatever script you want, you'll get a little pop-up dialogue to agree to. Greasespot has some more info. Hope that helps!

ETA: Foiled again by LJ's hate of JS. :(

Ah, well.

Great, thank you! I edited this in.

Also, I saw your new Journalfen scripts; awesome!
