LJ habits..

[ash48]

Sometimes I miss posts. I'm not sure why but I'm wondering if it's because of the way I use LJ. I'm not sure about anyone else but I when I log on I scroll down my flist's posts until I come to the first one I can remember seeing. Then I stop there.

I know that posts are time dependent. If you work on a post and save it and post it the next day it will end up buried and the chances are no one will see it. So I figure the time something is posted needs to be absolutely current (I suspect even an hour later would make a difference to where it appears on other peoples flists).

I wonder if it's a time thing. Perhaps I should scroll down further maybe? Is there another way of "doing" LJ?

I nearly missed THIS AMAZING post re the last episode 7.16. If you love looking at the meaning of colours and FLOWERS and scenery and all that juicy stuff then you have to check out galwithglasses post. Looking at posts like this make you realise how damn clever our is.



I have officially cut my working hours down to 4 days a week. WOOT! I had my first day off today and it was brilliant. Sure, it mean less money but it also mean MORE SANITY. I'll take the latter any day. I know there are some excesses we can cut back on if we need to. But having a 3 day weekend is just what I needed.

Off to see This Means War at our local outdoor cinema tonight. I rather like the idea of watching a movie outside. With a picnic. With some (new *g*) friends.

SHOW TOMORROW! \o/ \o/

If you have a paid account you can always use the 'filter' option at the top of the page, set it to 'friends' and just their posts will be shown, of course once you've caught up you go go back to your friends page which will include comm posts as well :D

Actually, even if you have a free account you can filter your Friends list. It's the small drop-down menu next to where it says "You are viewing your Friends page" on the upper navigation strip.

This is how I do it every night. First I filter by friends and make sure I'm not missing anything from anyone, then I filter by comms to see what's going on. If you follow many comms this is the easiest and most time effective way of doing it, IMO.

So you can filter even with an unpaid account, that's good to know as mine runs out in a month :D

I have a paid account, but my girlfriend does not. I checked her LJ right before I posted to make sure :-)

Oh cool. I didn't know this. I didn't think to filter friends separately to comms. I'll check that.
