Das vadanya, LiveJournal (sort of)

[prog]

I have decided to stop using LiveJournal as my primary blog experiment with using a blog other an LJ as my primary online journal. While I will retain my LJ account, and shall continue to use it for reading my friends' journals and making my own locked posts, I do not plan on regularly making public posts here beyond this point.

Please visit http://jmac.org/blog/ for all your jmac-bloggy needs. LJ users may add jmac_org as a friend, and it'll be like old times.

My reasons are various and largely predictable, if you've been following along. They come down to a desire to exert more control over the presentation of my writing. I've had a vague hankering to do this for years, actually, but several coincidental factors have convinced me that now's the right time to shove off.

Naturally, I reserve the right to take it all back later. But, let's see what happens.

Edit: Allow me to reclassify this an an experiment. Let me putter through the rest of December in this mode, and make a final decision with the new year.

So what's this "registration required" thing the blog tells me I need to do in order to leave a comment?

That is an excellent question. Ease of comment-leaving is a strength of LJ and one of the things I'm testing here.

I thot I pulled the necessary buttons and levers to make this easy, but it seems I missed a step or three. Investigating.

(Replied to your comments on jmac.org, but until I get from-there email working...)

If you click the "Sign in" link under the leave-a-comment heading, you'll be taken to a screen where you can sign in through a variety of means, including via an existing LJ account. These didn't exist when I first set up the blog. Disregard my instructions to sign out first; I was confused as to you were leaving comments in the first place. :)
