tags, laziness, recs poll

[cali]

There's something about switching styles that's a bit like moving into a new house. Everything has to be just right, and you spend hours figuring out where to put things. I've been resisting s2 styles since their implementation, mostly because I had everything organized just right under my s1 style. But the tags broke me. They're were just too useful to ignore. So. new style. check it out: theantimodel.

I'm using flexible squares with a whole lot of customizations. I recommend checking out s2flexisquares if you're thinking about switching, there are a lot of helpful add ons detailed there. Also, wistfuljane is a font of knowledge and helpfulness. Check out her post on tags. So far I've got 2005 fully tagged. It took a while, I'm not exactly looking forward to finishing the job, but it will do my OCD brain good to have a greater level of organization. For your reference: you can check out all of my tags on my journal's frontpage. I've got links to all the media I've shared by fandom as well as recs and polls and whatnot. So. If you ever see anything listed under media that you missed, feel free to ask me to reupload it.

Other things: If you have a mac and you aren't using xjournal I think you're missing out. The new version supports tags, very cool!

I really meant to go to critical mass tonight. It would have been cool, but I lost track of time doing all the lj configuration. I kinda suck. Especially since my out of town friends actually came down for the ride. Clearly, they are more dedicated than I.

I have a flickr account. If any of you are interested. I usually post real-life pictures and stuff there. I posted pics of last month's critical mass over there in case any of you are interested.

I have a fic recs journal (anti_recs) and hmmm, I think I started it because I didn't want to spam my flist with random posts of names and links, but lately I've been making much more traditional recs posts over there. And for sake of organization (having all my recs separated into one easy to find place) I'm going to keep posting them but I think I'm going to start posting them here too.

your new home looks so pretty! is it hard to make a header like that? i have no clue how to add a banner to my lj page. *sobs*

[theantimodel.livejournal.com]

No it's super easy! I don't know what style you're using but you could ask at s2styles or check this post out and see if there's a community dedicated to your style. I just scrolled around s2flexisquares until my questions were answered.

Tags are quite wonderful, aren't they? I have yet to tag all my entries, but it's a job I'm determined to finish this summer before my classes commence.

I must admit; the first thing I did when I bought my paid account was change to S2, simply because I'm too lazy to experiment with overrides. I've only just recently switched to the flexible squares style, but I love it thus far!

Tags are so cool. I've been using flickr for a while so I knew about tags before lj implemented them. Part of me has always wished there was an easier way to organize entries than the memories function. I couldn't be happier about the tags.

The layout looks nice. :) I've always really liked the Polaroid type banners, too.

[theantimodel.livejournal.com]

God, it took me forever to make that banner. I had to look up every photoshop tutorial website in existance. I've been using it for a yeah and a half probably, and I'm probably going to keep using it too, just because I can't be arsed to update it again. :D

I really really hate s2, but it's way convenient that you have a tab for 'illegal' stuff. :))

[theantimodel.livejournal.com]

I hated s2 until today. The tags! They're just so cool! And I had help wit hthe switch too, honestly, if I hadn't been able to ask questions and read tutorials I wouldh ave been too frustrated to do it.

I'm glad you picked up on that tag :D I was hoping someone would.
