I'm trying to work all of this (LJ) out. For someone like me it's quite tricky but I will get there ( Read more... )

Yay, here you are!

I think you are right about needing to get all the festivities out of the way before relaxation begins. It has certainly been like that for me this year.

Take the gardening slowly and, if necessary, find another person Friday. Of course, I should follow my own advice!

Yup. daisy808 January 10 2009, 10:03:15 UTC

So should we all follow our own advice.
I think I'm going to really enjoy LJ.
Lots of queries though. I'll get there.

There you are, and what a nice layout you picked! I love the colours on this one and it's not as distracting as some or the others.

m03m January 10 2009, 09:55:35 UTC

Some *of* the others... oops.

Thanks. daisy808 January 10 2009, 09:58:51 UTC

I'm still working out if responses are for me. How do I see my own layout? I chose deep sea.

Clicking on your name will generally get you to your journal, in your layout. Clicking on the little faceless figure in front of the name will get you to your profile.
It works with other people's names, too.

Since you're busy figuring out the 'friends locked' thing: it all depends on your personal need for privacy. Most of my posts are public, but some are friends-only (which is the same as friends locked, some people say 'flocked' for short.)

Glad you had a good Christmas, and hope the year gets better for you...very weird about the gardener!

You're doing great!

Thanks. This is fun. How confidential is it? It scares me a bit...with students, staff, the town...

well, supposedly if you save the entry to friends only, only the people on your friends list can see what you have written...I haven't had any issues with people hacking into my journal...but it probably *is* possible...sorry if I've scared you, but better to be honest I guess!

To put entries on friends only, when you write an entry, there should be a scroll bar at the bottom of the page where you can set it to 'everyone' (everyone can see it), 'friends' (so only people on your friends list can read it, 'private' (so only you can see it) or you can save certain friends to specific lists, which is more complicated and I'm not exactly sure how to explain it, probably someone else can!

You need to lock it friends only teotakuu January 10 2009, 10:10:43 UTC

Down at the bottom of the page, before you press Post, you can choose to make it private to you only, friends only or public. At the moment anyone might read it if they so chose.

You can go back and change the security level just by going into the edit function.

Phone me if you are having problems

Welcome to LJ and I would recommend locking to friends only. It isn't easy being the mother to adult children and all you can do is be there for them.

Thanks. daisy808 January 10 2009, 10:56:37 UTC

Yes, it sure is. I/ we all thought it might get easier once they left home. We wouldn't have believed our poor Mothers if they told us otherwise.
