LJ: fixing things that aren't broken
Nov. 1st, 2012 10:22 amI'm going to try to keep up with National Blog Posting Month again this year, so I'll start off with the new LJ Friends page:
I hate it. It's ugly and infinite scrolling is problematic for many users, and--most importantly for me--I chose my current layout because I wanted the sidebar list of links and tags, which I use pretty frequently. The new page strips all that away, so thanks a lot LJ--why do you keep fixing things that aren't broken?! >_< See the lj_releases post for more details. They're also bringing back that ugly lj-cut scissors image (that caused such an outrage the last time) in order to make lj-cuts "more difficult to forge"...is this really a big problem?
I guess they're trying to make LJ more like Facebook or Tumblr, but if that was what I wanted, I'd get an actual FB or Tumblr account.
In happier news, I've signed up for Yuletide and am anxiously waiting for my assignment! I've offered a couple of new fandoms that I've never written before, and am a little nervous and excited about the prospect. Or I might get assigned to write one of my old familiar favorites, which would also be great.
