"I have been but little in," said Ninian hastily...

Every time I come back to LiveJournal after a prolonged absence, I find that it's changed, again, and not for the better.

The look and feel is constantly being altered, but--for example-- the visual editor tools are still the same stunted menu of inadequacy that they've always been.

I pay for this service, and every time I use it lately I have to ask myself why.

So, have mood icons gone away? I hadn't noticed that until now. I miss the little penguins.

I am liking Livejournal less and less, but I have eight years of content buried here...

I've been through and trimmed back my list of non-reciprocal LJ Friends. I've also added back my entire remaining list to my default view, in interests of determining in the future which LJs to keep reading and which to drop. LJ seems a tiny bit like dating in that, if you run across someone new, you take a little time to find out if the two of you are compatible, interesting to each other, and make life more interesting by sharing it. And, like dating, if after a while that doesn't work out, one or both of you will probably choose to move on.

I was struck today reading a couple of journal entries (personal ones, not community or "author's public blog" ones) that this was someone I couldn't remember ever hearing from, and when I went to look I saw that they had never added me back. Which is, of course, totally their option but *if* they clearly aren't interested in sharing with me and *if* I don't really find what they're posting all that interesting, why are they still only blogroll? So now they're not.

I did also drop the two remaining author blogs because, well, while it's cool they have LJs, they're not either of them authors I'm all THAT interested in.

I would appreciate it if Livejournal would spend a little less time finding ways for us to screw money out of our friends and a little more time getting the system to run conisistently

I'm seeing one friends post from this morning (US time) and one from the afternoon (UK time).

Is it really the case that no one has posted since 4 pm GMT?

Did I post about this comm? It's a super place people share pictures and stories from the national parks.
