Writer’s Block: I May Be Crazy

Making compost!
After a few months of marriage I decided to build a compost bin to reduce the amount of trash we were throwing out. I got some materials, drew up a plan, and threw something together. Well, that something has done spectacularly – we’ve reduced our garbage to a half-bag a week, we no longer have a horrible odor when opening the garbage can, and best of all we get great soil for our garden. Our compost bin has worked so well that friends remarked that they wanted one. So last year I made one as a gift for a friend who was expecting her first baby. But this time I took pictures.
Damnit!
I spend three days drafting a post about LiveJournal and DreamWidth and then azurelunatic goes and writes it better than I could.
Saved me from having to bother finishing it though.

So, with the introduction of pingbacks LiveJournal is making another step towards becoming a fully-featured blogging platform in addition to all its other half-fulfilled possibilities. This user, who has a lot of interesting stuff to say about LJ in general, wrote up a quick guide to pingbacks. And over here we have someone who thinks the pingback bot is cute and likes to see it appear on her comments page. So not only do I get to see what happens with two links in the same entry, but also what happens when you edit the entry from friends-only (which produces no pingbacks) to public (which should), and if all of that works when setting the pingback option open on a single post.
Here we go.
