Livejournal Crossposting

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Uh, so since a lot of people I know use livejournal, I got an account to make comments, and it’s been sitting empty with a link that points to my personal blog/website

But hey, if you can have your cake and eat it, right? I’m trying out a plugin that will crosspost from my wordpress-based site right into LJ. What I don’t know is whether comments will also cross-post - I suspect not, but we’ll have to see :)

So, let’s see if this works [ pushes big red shiny button ]

–edit

Works nicely :)

Editing, as you can see, auto-updates both entries (I wonder if editing old entries will put them into livejournal? - AWESOME, it does :D )

Commenting works by redirecting to yamahito.net - well, that’s not perfect for the LJers, but works well for me.

WordPress Themes and ‘Categories’

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Man, I thought that changing around a few pictures/text orientations would be easier.

But maybe it’s a good thing that it isn’t. I mean, at least the ‘theme’ consists of a bunch of php (!) and css files that you can hack about with - that’s power to the user, which is good.

But it means that you have to have

  1. Knowhow
  2. Time

Still, 50% there.

The other thing is this whole ‘categories’ thing. Stop me if I’m wrong, but gmail came out well over a year ago now. I know that there a lot of people who have missed the significance this rightly has on how we store and find things, but I can’t believe that this evolutionary cul-de-sac still has such prominence…

FILTERS, people.

Hopefully there’s a plug-in for it.
