testing

[sophinisba]

Last night I copied all the posts in my LJ to my new accounts at greatestjournal and insanejournal, using LJSec and these instructions by brown_betty. Just now I've downloaded Semagic and used these instructions from snapetoy for logging in to multiple journals at the same time, so this is my first attempt to post using Semagic, and the idea is that the post will show up on all three journals. We'll see! I am sophinisba at all three places.

LJSec didn't keep the tags or comments and I think it tries to keep my filters but I don't think there's any way that could work, seeing as I don't have any filters set up at gj or ij. Still it ended up being a lot easier than I'd expected, considering how many entries there were, and I'm thinking I'll use that same program to set up a fic journal (at IJ), something I'd never bothered with before because I'd figured saving and reposting all the individual posts would be a real pain. The links won't work, but I can go back and edit and tag those later, and do a better job with the tags than I have on my own LJ. So this should be interesting (even if it all does make me feel kind of silly, and I can't imagine what I'm going to do with three f-lists).

I suppose I should upload some icons at the other journals at some point, seeing as how that's the main thing I've been paying for at LJ and that the other services offer for free.

Wow, I think it actually worked.

I gather you passed your test.

[gamerchick.livejournal.com]

Are you planning to leave LJ?

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

I friended both your other journals.

[sophinisba]

No, not planning to, though I'm letting my paid account expire next month. It seems like most of fandom is waiting to see what the rest of fandom does. :)

[sophinisba]

Indeed, I win! \o/

[sophinisba]

Thanks, hon, I'll add you back.

Thanks! I'll be following in your footsteps soon. Don't be surprised if I come to you for advice! Cheers.

Oh dear. And I thought everything is okay now *sighs* I'm layne67 at GJ but I havent done anything there yet. I'll be there when and if I really need to.

*sighs again*

Gotcha.

I have my own opinions about Strikethrough, but don't feel like sharing because I know they are unpopular. (short version: fandom needs to change how it uses LJ, and should not be so surprised that this happened)

[sophinisba]

Do you mean like hosting content elsewhere and just using LJ for networking and linking to it? I could see how that would work if LJ would clarify things a bit and, you know, send people warnings before going ahead and deleting all their accounts. I really liked things the way they were before this though. :(

[sophinisba]

I feel a little silly having my stuff duplicated all over the place, but I figure better that than have it locked down and inaccessible to people who might want to read. The copying was also easier than I thought it would be, though posting to multiple journals hasn't worked every time.

I know, it is really a mess. I wish this weren't happening. I'm sure we'll stay in touch with each other though, whatever else happens. *hugs*
