LiveJournal-specific URL forms

[howto_user]

There are several LiveJournal-specific URL forms that will only work on LiveJournal. These URLs can only be used in links made by using the anchor () HTML tag. In the following, the "//" can be removed. For example, both lj://user/exampleusername and lj:user/exampleusername/ will both link to exampleusername's journal.

• lj://user/exampleusername/
  
  This turns into the location of exampleusername's journal, i.e. http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/ or http://users.livejournal.com/exampleusername/.
  
  You can also extend this URL form to make a link to other pages in the journal as long as the URL ends with a /. For example, lj://user/exampleusername/friends/ turns into the location of exampleusername's Friends page, i.e. http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/friends/ or http://users.livejournal.com/exampleusername/friends/. However, lj://user/exampleusername/123456.html (individual entry) or lj://user/exampleusername/tag/foo (entries tagged with "foo") wouldn't work, because they don't end with a /.



• lj://user/exampleusername/profile
  
  lj://userinfo/exampleusername/
  
  Both of these forms turn into the location of exampleusername's User Info page (http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/profile or http://users.livejournal.com/exampleusername/profile).



• lj://userpics/exampleusername/
  
  This turns into the location of exampleusername's userpics page (http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=exampleusername).



• lj://memories/exampleusername/
  
  This turns into the location of exampleusername's Memories page (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=exampleusername).



• lj://todo/exampleusername/
  
  This turns into the location of exampleusername's to-do list (http://www.livejournal.com/todo/?user=exampleusername).



• lj://pubkey/exampleusername/
  
  This turns into the location of exampleusername's public key (http://www.livejournal.com/pubkey.bml?user=exampleusername).



• lj://support/3777/
  
  This turns into the location of the 3777th support request (http://www.livejournal.com/support/see_request.bml?id=3777). lj://support/ without a number will turn into a link to the main Support page (http://www.livejournal.com/support/).



• lj://faq/75/
  
  This turns into the location of FAQ Question #75 (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=75), i.e. this FAQ. lj://faq/ without a number turns into a link to the main FAQ page (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faq.bml).



• lj://
  
  This turns into the location of the LiveJournal home page (http://www.livejournal.com/).
