I was screwing around with custom styles earlier when I stumbled across artlj (Translations available at Google and Microsoft). It seems to be a portal designed for the Russian artistic community.

Last night I hacked together a Greasemonkey script so that anyone affected by the grey comment button problem can post a comment. Any comments or questions, ask me at my journal entry.

I got a bit tired of searching through several different FAQs to find the specific LJ tag I wanted to use, so I went ahead and put them all into one entry.

I built a GreaseMonkey script to allow basic users to post polls. (Other users already can, but LJ does not allow basic users to.) One caveat: since the poll and its results can't be stored on LiveJournal itself, they're stored on my server.

Here's how it works.
