Is it just me...

...or in LJ's latest code push of instant privacy concerns, did they also remove the ticky box that allowed one to comment and log in at the same time? I sure can't find it anymore, although I CAN find the stupid x-post to Facebook and Twitter buttons they added

Do the common LJ posting clients work with it and/or do they offer their own clients? I loathe using web interfaces for posting.

[holyschist]

Many do, although not all the features work perfectly, depending on the client and the features. I did some testing with Mac clients initially and found several that I could have used (I used to be an offline-client-only person, but I got used to online post interfaces with WordPress, and DW will be offering scheduled posting like WP in the near future). I'm not familiar with Windows LJ clients, but there's a somewhat out-of-date compatibility list for LJ clients in general here:

They had at least one Google Summer of Code student working on an offline client (and one on a mobile client), so there should be something in the nearish future. I imagine I will post about it when there is!

Thanks. I'm using the last code in your list.

Cool, hope you like DW!

took the 3rd one. Claimed the name. This is actually a permanent account, but ..... I've had it long enough that it's paid for itself.
