“Real” users vs “fake” users

This comment in the latest news post epitomizes what ticks me off so badly about the site vs. user conflicts of the last couple years – the idea that anyone who uses the site differently than you do is not a “real” user of LiveJournal. It’s bad enough when it’s LiveJournal, the corporate identity, that’s making assumptions and being dismissive of alternate users, but when it’s coming from fellow users it’s particularly galling.

My opinion has always been that anyone who logs into LJ in any way is a real user of LJ. Whether they’re here to keep a journal, leave comments, or read a friend’s entries they’re all equally valid users.

All LJ-specific tags


This is a not-very-brief reference guide to every LiveJournal specific tag and markup that you can use in an entry. Many of them can be used simply by pressing a button in the Rich Text Editor, but some of them have to be added in via the HTML editor. This guide explains how to use them all with the HTML editor.

Please feel free to spread this around using the repost button you’ll find in the repost section.
