In which I quit LiveJournal

OK, I know I've threatened to do this before, but this time I am actually going through with it. Seriously

Is there any smooth way to handle things like post filtering and friend groups?

[mdyesowitch]

I'm curious too. That's the thing that's kept me here.

OK, I think I've worked out a way to do this, using a combination of the Post Levels and Role Manager plugins. Additionally, I installed WP-OpenID (so all you LJ users don't need to sign up for a new account just to see my friends-only posts), and Weasel's Login Redirect (to make the login screen less confusing).

I've posted a protected post, just to test things out. Now I need help to see if people think this is a viable solution. To try it out, do the following 2 steps:

1) Go to my blog and under "Site Options" (it's on the right side), click "Log In

I agree with your rss and would like to subscribe to your newsletter! Um, what I mean is I've gone ahead and added your feed to my reader already. But the link in the footer of your website is a little nonstandard (I got: "feed://http//blog.natbudin.com/?feed=rss2" from it, which has some extra-y bits in it, doesn't need the "feed://" bit, and the http is missing the :), so it was a little trick-y.

[natbudin]

Ulp, those links do kind of suck. I've now desuckified them.

Also, I've friended you on the blog now.
