People cross-posting on multiple journals might appreciate this.

That's cool, although the code is honkin' long. I see what they're doing. If they're going to do that, why not go the whole way and use the tag that goes with the service? Put the little skull in for DJ and the Tweak for IJ? I know, you're not the one with the answers. I wonder if I show my spouse if he could code it for me. *thinks* :-)

Looks like you'd need to figure out where on the various other journals they keep the various images for the user tag (and at least for InsaneJournal, just changing the image source from LJ to IJ doesn't work). Or you'd need to save a copy of the image somewhere and link to that ...

That is made of awesome! Thank you.

Seems a little meaningless to go through a form for something that's relatively easy to code, and lacks the unique icons I just copy-paste the code and either take out the style format adds in those extra tags, or add in extra tags I want the icon to be the same as the custom ones on my style.

For example, these are my GJ and IJ tags:

Problem with the top option is that neither is defining width/height. It should be an easy embed, width/height tags are pretty easy to do and the dimensions are always the same.

Without them, those of us with image placeholders on get something like this:

Mat, I have no idea what you're saying to me in that last aside.

matgb August 8 2007, 10:37:39 UTC

When I started replying, I'd misread your code and thought that it also didn't define width/height, typed the thing then saw you had put them in, kicked myself and rewrote it, while on the phone to a client, hence the gibberish, sorry...

Random - are you posting the same here as IJ? If so, I'll defriend you here, and just keep following you there.

(This is all part of my cunning plan to move the majority of my blogging to there, although I will be keeping a blog here for commenting on friends who haven't moved.)

Yup. I'm double-posting, with slightly more content going to IJ at this point (if only because my FList there is a lot more manageable).

So feel free to swap off and add me on IJ and drop me on LJ.

debxena August 9 2007, 02:08:12 UTC

Done and done :)

geminigirl38 August 10 2007, 04:48:19 UTC

Added you on IJ and GJ--just in case. ;)
