msfledermausI've been getting some very very very nice compliments for my LJ from someone thinking of having one of their own. (Wow! Such a blush I have going on here!)
so in the interests of, well, me, I present...
HANDY HINTS AND TIPS ABOUT LJ
(Feel free to add your own comments...in fact I'd appreciate them mightily.)
1: Be not afraid!!! LJ's pretty damn easy to use. (I'm an ex-bitter luddite, and I've been learning HTML off it and everything, see?
2: Kiss hours of your day goodbye catching up with friends, writing deep thoughts, and mooning people online. (Okay, maybe not the mooning. It better not be the mooing, anyway.)
3: When you're answering a post, try to keep it to the subject and try not to derail the conversation goofing off with another friend.
(I brake this rule*all the time* with Daruba in particular, but I always mean well..D'ohhhhh. Me likes de minkey stuff..)
4: You'll get interesting pals, and some may sign off after a while...that doesn't necessarily mean they don't like you or anything..or maybe they hate you..you and everything you stand for...and people who just look like you...pay them no mind...
5: The basic manners of society are still in place...be kind. (well, yes, it's obvious, but sometimes it's gotta be said, neh?)
6: Nobody outside your LJ obsession cares at all about it...*sniff sniff...bastards..* It just means you must hook them up as soon as possible and make LJ grow...Join ussss...resistance is futile....we have Twinkies....
I'm sure I'll have more in a little while. (Now I must do worky things...)

depends what you mean by "outside"... I have friends who don't have journals but I know read mine. I have friends who have accounts for the sole reason of being on friends lists and reading friends-only posts and making comments... are these people outside the obsesson? then there are people who I have sucked into the obsession. I am personally responsible for 3 LJ accounts! woohoo!
Re:
Date: 2001-07-25 02:18 pm (UTC)Alas, most of my pals are not interested in the LJ stuff. (I have sucked in my dear friend UnckiePhill:) Funny thing is, they're mostly programmers. They don't want to be involved in the "social" side of the net, they claim...
Purists..*grin*
Ms Eff, pleased ta meetcha!

Date: 2001-07-26 07:11 am (UTC)I am NOT running a Minkey-spanking service!!! People must be responsible for disciplining their own Minkeys, even if they bite!!! I will not be spanking anybody's Minkeys...not that any of you know of!!!
Ms Eff.*sings*"everybody has got somethin' to hiiide, except for me and my Minkey...."
