New for LiveJournal!
If you are reading this blog on LiveJournal, please read on.
Having successfully migrated words’ end to DreamHost and playing with their WordPress install, I’m finally dealing with the minor annoyance of not being notified of comments posted to the LiveJournal RSS feed. Not just that: the comments disappear into the ether when LJ no longer sees the post.
So, I’m doing two things. First off, I’ve set up cross-posting to w0rds3nd. In fact, this is the test post for that; we’ll see if it goes through.
Second, in a couple of weeks I’ll look into cutting off the LiveJournal RSS feed by blocking LJ’s IP address. I figure, if people care enough to comment on my posts, I’d like to know about it; and this is the only way for me to ensure that I’ll see the comments.
Anyway. Friend w0rds3nd, if you will. All posts to it will be public, and commenting will be routed off LJ to my site. You’ll be able to subscribe to followup comments and there’s threading, and I’d like to keep all comments in the same place. So really, no major functionality is lost compared to LJ. Come play.

Please don’t cut off the feed. I can NOT reliably follow any site that I don’t get via my use of LJ-as-RSS-reader.
I don’t say much of anything ever, but I do want to read.

OH. I’m misreading, aren’t you. You’re not going to cut off ALL LJ access.
Never mind. I can deal with the change. Thanks. :)
