Liquidstar.org Reincarnated

[comeseptember]

So just over a week ago now, I went live with the latest version of liquidstar.org. I've been updating regularly there, and I intend to continue doing so. With a heck of a lot more time to myself lately, I've needed an outlet for all the thinking I do, and getting back into blogging seemed the way to go

Comments

I was going to say, "Doesn't much matter to me, I read this and the RSS feed, and can comment either place (but LJ is easier)"--but having seen the LJ/RSS feed, it cuts off after three lines or so, meaning I -have- to view it over at Liquidstar. Thus, I'd prefer you cross-post the whole entries here, ambivalent on where commenting takes place. Easier for me to comment on LJ, easier for you if everyone comments at the same place. :)

Hmm...I could change the RSS. I did have it set to just be excerpts specifically to encourage people to go to the actual page to read things. Mostly with the thought process of they'd see everything else on the page and be encouraged to read deeper. But thinking of it in this context now makes me realize that anyone who would actually use the RSS--whether the feed here on LJ or in a reader or whatever obviously takes enough interest in what I have to say that they'd read deeper anyway or already have

That's a tough call. I do have a couple of friends who fully cross-post, public comments allowed on both sites, and it's 50/50 whether I comment at one location or the other. (I prefer LJ, personally, because I'm comfortable with its commenting format and don't have to make an extra effort to get comment notifications--but it's only a few seconds more effort to drop my info in another form to comment there. The only sites I -don't- like are those that a) don't let me sign up for comment notifications, or b) don't let me shut off comment notifications later, in case of heavy traffic that I cease caring about. :)

Yeah, I added a comment notification plug-in with a manager just today to LS. Thinking about the commenting on LJ made me realize how useful it would be to have there. :]

I figured you might not be terribly opinionated on the public vs. friends-only on LJ, seeing as you're generally fairly public with stuff. I'll see if I get any other feedback!
