Poll Banshee's LJ content
Games, politics, food, family? Something else entirely? Not that I'm necessarily going to change, but I'm curious, and I haven't posted a poll for a bit.

Results for 2001 are listed here. Below are the results for 2002, which was one of the worst years I've had in recent memory. Husband unemployed; I got stuck in a job I hated, the economy in terrible shape . . . I was really glad to see it gone, and yet, at the time, I didn't realize it was just the beginning. Things got worse in 2003, until ( Read more... )

Sheesh, after doing 2001, which wasn't even a full year on LJ, I'm almost reluctant to write this: means another post to sort!

Today I've been using my Memories section to create categories to put my LJ posts in order. I got the idea after seeing Terrance's nicely-organized blogIt's actually been somewhat enlightening. In 2001, the category with ( Read more... )

I have never had a blog, and I can't seem to find a site that really compares and contrasts Blogger with LiveJournal, as far as features and how they actually work. For example, do they have something like a Friends list, that neatly compiles posts from various users and communities all on one cozy page, or do they just have to keep clicking those ( Read more... )

My good friend scottwells just doesn't update his LJ. Yes, he's a blogger . . . one of those folks. :) However, now, rather than having to go and surf to his site, I have created *drum roll* an RSS feed so I can just read his blog from my LJ friends list! Yay! I know some of you are also friends of his, so if you want to add the feed, you can go here:

The links below extol my geekiness, but I finally found a list of all the LJ syndicated feeds, and I went nuts. I'm sure some of these will be cleared off at some point, but I found some highlights:

amzn_sf_books (feed of newly released sci-fi/fantasy books)
amzn_sf_dvd (feed of newly released sci-fi/fantasy books)
cnn_ent
daoc_heraldnews
dorktowerfeed
foxtrot_feed

weetanya brought this up in her LJ some time ago, but it's something I'd been wondering about as well. I just wonder . . . how much do you feel like you're "performing," or writing for other people? Is your journal just for you, and whoever reads it does so at their own risk, as it were?

Poll Defining Your LJ

Yay! Back to paid member LJ status. Now I can make polls again, and the LJ site won't be quite as sluggish.

I can be http://wgbanshee.livejournal.com/ again, and other features.

Who knew? There are LJs that do nothing but feed you stuff you'd surf for anyway. Lookie!

gaimanblogHow this works: every LJ member gets a certain number of points to allocate to web feeds, and different ones cost different amounts -- the more people who view a certain one, the less it costs each subscriber. You can find out how many you have by visiting ( Read more... )

So, my LiveJournal subscription just expired. I had it for a full year. I enjoy using it, but I am annoyed that I was promised user directory matching when I signed up, and they didn't get around to adding it until shortly before my subscription expired. I don't want to reward them for bad service, but I also don't want LJ to go away. I need to ( Read more... )
