All day I’ve been thinking about (and talking about) the Hamas victory in Palestine’s elections. But I’m not really up to talking about that right now. It’s 2am and I want to do some writing. So instead, I’m going to ramble about something only mildly less controversial: livejournal.
\nI have a livejournal<\/a>. I also have a friends feed<\/a>, where I read livejournals kept by my friends.
\nI wonder, sometimes, about how I can get people who read this to go and explore my LJ buddies. My non-LJ buddies are listed off to the side, individually, for easy reference. (Except for the Stonesoup crew, who are bundled together.) I like this because I know people use the front page of From The Morgue to access other blogs, and to browse through the chatter of other interesting people. This is good.
\nNow, the LJ crowd are all hidden under one heading of ‘Livejournalists’. There’s a lot of people under that heading. I hate that they hold a lower status on the page than the individually-listed people; but I’m not sure adding 100 new entries to the sidebar is the best way to equalise things.
\nAny ideas from the floor, amigos? How can I ensure that my LJ friends are loved and respected as much as my non-LJ friends? How can I make it easy for people to explore the LJ land as easily as the non-LJ land? Hmmm?
\n—-
\nAs a token gesture, I’m gonna pick one of the LJ friends I have and say something about them, so you’ll all gasp and be fascinated and want to go and read more.
\nAnd because I have distinct geekish tendencies, and there’s 100 of them, I’m going to roll percentile dice to choose who gets the moment of glory. And… I roll a 54! Now, on my userinfo page<\/a>, friend #54 today is…
\n…huh. It’s mearls<\/a>. I already did a blog entry on the subject of mearls being my LJ friend<\/a>. What are the odds, huh? I guess that means I get off easy this time.
\n—-
\nThis post was, of course, inspired by the recent actions of the redoubtable Gar Hanrahan<\/a> to syndicate this blog on to LJ, so anyone with an LJ can get all my posts here to just pop up automagically on their friends page. The syndication feed is at
