I have nothing of real substance to share, but I did want to share my glee over a few functional updates. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I have finally got a few things working over here that I’ve admired on other blogs. First of all, this blog will now be cross-posted to Livejournal, for those over there who fear to stray from their friends pages.
What I’m more gleeful about, however, is that I can now offer something like LJ-style commenting over here. When commenting here, you will now be given the option to use your LJ, IJ, JF, whatever icon in your comment, simply by entering your name as “username@yourljclone” when you are filling out the comment field. This also supports gravatars. If you don’t have an avatar, the default (for the moment, at least) is Lucydog. :) Also, though I’ve had threaded comments working for a while, I’ve also now got reply notifications working, so when someone replies to a comment you’ve made, you’ll get an e-mail telling you so.
Let me know if you have any trouble! I’m off to check my daily blogs, now, so perhaps soon I’ll have something to say!
Testing the commenting w/ my LJ!
WAIT. What email notify thingy? That is ANOTHER one I never got to work.
AW. My avatar on that account is so cute!
It is incredibly cute!
I will tell you what I used! I used… wait, you can see the whole thing play out in the comments to this fic!
Just FYI, if you switch to the comment plugin that does the e-mail notifications, I had a problem getting Brian’s Threaded Comments to go away, and I finally realized that it is because it replaces the comments.php file, but when you deactivate it (and even when you delete it), it does not change that back. So you have to get a fresh comments.php file before going forward with that.
Now you just need to get Ravelry avatars working. :P
Hell, maybe they *do* work!
Just checking out the default icon. :)
Lovely Icon.
Don’t forget, if you want, you can use your own icon, just by signing in as jansong@livejournal. :)
I’ve got to figure out all you’ve said. I don’t understand it. Did you get my e-mail about meeting Joey?
When you go to the place where you put in your comment, instead of putting in “mom” just put in “jansong@livejournal” and see what happens! :)
We’ll see if it works.
It does, see?? :D
got it.
…okay, i attempted to make a gravatar account! let’s see if this works. (and yay for threaded comments and email notification! and for crossposting this blog to LJ!)
You are my first gravatar! :D *heart*
:D how could i resist the temptation of leaving armadillos in my internet-wake?
I don’t understand how you’ve resisted all this time! ;D
Life is so easy when you’re a bug. I mean: just checking this out :)
Hee! Hello! :D
Coolio!
Well, hello! :D
