 calmAside from eliciting a comment or two from me concerning the subject at hand, after I was finished reading and offering my input, the whole experience caused me to realise just why I believe that people on the internet need desperately to get outside their own heads once in awhile and look around at the world to see that they are not the be-all and end-all of existence.  As I mentioned previously in my own FO post (which got a lot of positive feedback at Lj) concerning a hassle I just recently had with an Lj user who fills pages and pages of her journal with her daily minutia, there is a whole universe of truth, beauty, talent, creativity and yes, even outrage, to look upon on the wide world of the web. I do enjoy reading about people's lives, their triumphs, failures, trials and tribulations. But sometimes you would just like to shake them and say, 'Look OUTWARD for a minute. What do you see?'

 annoyedFeck them! Their site is so slow for me that I myself can barely get there. I think it has something to do with my complaints about their stupid payment policy. | ||||||||||

As regards this LJ news post wherein management arrogantly pronounces that they will no longer accept CASH, checks or MONEY ORDERS to pay for accounts: My friend trixen gifted me with a paid year on my last birthday, and I was seriously considering keeping it up. However, Livejournal's pronouncement has ensured that I will NOT. That, and the stupidass ads they plaster all over everywhere else like it was some kind of fecking circus instead of using non-intrusive and content-relevant text ads. FAIL | ||||||||||

 disappointedOkay, seriously, now I am getting annoyed. I asked a question concerning account payment, and no one has responded. You would think money might be an inducement to reply. I can see there are many open support requests that admin just ignores. This is sad. I also looked at the layout I have chosen and realised it has a broken link that I hadn't seen at first -- even though I can put a header on it [unlike my other one because of Dj's limitations -- it works everywhere else]. I understand from talking to the DW people and reading Frank's posts that Deadjournal uses an old, old version of the Lj code. I know this is why I canny import entries to DW from here, and I assume this is why HTML does not work in the sidebars of my other layout like it should or for the header. Meh, Oona needs a job so she doesna sit around and look at stuff like this. :( When Frank transferred Dj to his friend, I thought the deal was that we would get more benefits over here. I know blogging on a journal site is not the most important issue people have on their plates, dun get me wrong. I also realise we are not drifting offline as much as we did there for awhile, but so far I dun see any other innovations. This leads me to believe we will not be seeing them ever. I'm beginning to feel like I really am in the Dead Zone. *Sigh* | ||||||||||

As my Lj friend Michelle [mmmxperimental] alerted me, there is a BETA Livejournal profile you can now try on, and it incorporates into the page the same LjSeek journal search engine I have mentioned previously. You dun even need to sign up for it. I will mention again also that LjSeek keeps a cached copy you can view of published posts you later decide to delete. [if you have a personal account, you can request them to take these posts OFF their database). So all the posts I deleted are still available as cache on the search, even the pics. :) The BETA page gives you a lot of information formerly put on 2 pages. | ||||||||||

 contemplativeThe other day I read a link from my friend's Lj that was so astute and so excellently written concerning the present political crisis in this country, yet only one person had commented. Sometimes I read the latest posts link over at Dj, and some of the people will be having a major crisis in their lives, yet not one comment will be posted. Have these people no friends? Or are people on social networking sites such as Dj and Lj just there for their own vanity and ego? Do people not want feedback? Or do they get it from other sources? Why journal it then in public? I think about all these things, and I wonder.  'Backstage'  'The French Window' By Ignat Ignatov | ||||||||||

News from Livejournal this morning says that by the end of summer the 'basic accounts' option will be available once again to all users, so hopefully no one will have to opt for the intrusive, ugly and poorly placed ads the 'Plus' accounts are forced to have now. Now if someone on staff would just learn the art of placing simple text ads in strategic places, Lj would look a LOT better. Also, if Lj would increase their default number of userpics from the ridiculous 6 to something more attractive, that would be sweet. At InsaneJournal, the default is 100. At Inksome, I have 150. :) | ||||||||||
