Gah, sometimes you can try to be too clever. Bottom link is to Andrew's fix of the crossposter code, which theoretically auto-selects a userpic, gets the timestamp right and removes the auto formatting.

2. Find your 42nd entry ever. Yes, this may require some counting and basic maths. Deal with it.
3. Link to that entry in a new entry. This is the meaning of your life.

innerbrat lists her favourite Firefox extensions, and asks: How have you customised your Firefox? Which add-ons have you used, how have you altered them, and what couldn't you do without?
