A couple or three things
I know, I know, I haven't posted here for a miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillion years. I've been mentally stuck trying to decide whether DW or LJ should be my primary journal (or whether I should just crosspost everything). I have been posting on the blog at loopylou.co.uk though. I haven't been crossposting from the blog to DW & LJ, obviously, but there is now a feed account on DW (![[syndicated profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/feed.png)
loopylou_feed ) as well as the one on LJ (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
loopylou_co_uk ). So just in case you want to read my blogging adventures, which are about things like knitting, spinning, bipolar disorder, and general life ramblings, then... well, there are many ways to do so. Or, I don't know, should I just crosspost directly to this journal after all? I've always felt like I should keep the two separate, but maybe that's a hangover from when I worked in an office? Hmm. Opinions welcome! Heh, if there's even anyone still reading this thing.
What I've been thinking of using this journal* for is more fandom-y stuff. And I'm afraid that means the stuff that I'm watching, so if there are people reading, I give fair warning: I'll quite likely be whiffling on about Sparklytrictly Come Dancing and Holby / Casualty and Merlin and Sherlock (still) and Dr Who and whatever else may catch my fancy. Also, I want to actually write up the book reviews that are in my head. Shall I put them here or on the blog? I don't know. Maybe that's something that works for both. As for which is my main journal between DW and LJ, well, my subscription has run out on DW, and I still have the big flist on LJ, but DW is nicer... I'll decide another time.
At the moment I am doing NaBloPoMo over on my blog, so I don't know if / when I'll be posting here again. But I really really am going to try. I miss being in touch with my flist! Although talking of that, I think I may need to chop it down quite a lot so that I can actually keep up with the reading. Sometimes I wonder how I used to manage. Oh yes, that's right: I signed up for LJ a decade ago. I was young. That explains it all!
* These journals: I'd be crossposting, assuming posting to DW from SeMagic will do that, because posting in the web editor on DW is driving me MAD(der). This is my fourth attempt today, and it's not like it's a problem with the editor itself. I just keep accidentally losing the bleeping thing. Don't ask. Anyway, I need to post from a non-web interface.

Oh no, it was me, not DW! I don't know why I was having so much trouble with it, since I post to my blog from a web interface. But I kept navigating away from the page by accident, and when I hit the back button, the entry had disappeared and I had to start again. ARGH! For some reason the auto save thingy just didn't work. It was v frustrating!
The crossposting from DW to LJ works just fine, but that does cause another small issue if I'm posting from my blog to DW / LJ - if I have it set up to automatically crosspost from DW->LJ, then... it will. The thingy on my blog lets me choose whether to crosspost at all or to either (and pick my icons ;-) ). I might not always want to post to LJ as well, and I don't want to have it go blog->DW->LJ anyway. But if I use Semagic to (cross)post, it doesn't have the same options that includes the linkback to the DW post. Humph. Am I making any sense, or am I just rambling now?
Have you seen it yet? Is it really good? *hopeful*

It's pretty awesome. You should suscribe to dw_news where they post mock-ups of redesigns and stuff and ask for our opinion. I think the last mock-up of the page for posting was a couple of weeks back, but it has drag-and-drop of the things you want on it, and all kinds of awesome stuff.
