Just an FYI...

Aug 04, 2010 19:22

I am going to post here even less than I was before. This is due to the fact that a few people have mentioned to me that in order to comment on my livejournal they had to watch an actual advertisement before even being allowed.

Before I abandon LJ entirely can some people fill me in on why I should not be upset about people having to watch a video ( Read more... )

This is what AdBlockPlus is for. It's the handiest, dandiest, rootin-tootinest firefox extension in the corral.

Yes it is.

I know AdBlockPlus is awesome... it annoys me to have to have it on all the time. Stupid interwebs.

Thanks for the info though.

Why does that annoy you? I love having it on all the time, because that's the default and I hate ads.

I think that some people may be slowly starting to come back to LJ, though. FaceBook keeps pissing people off with all the changes. I never thought FB would tear me away from LJ, but it did..... *sigh* I miss the old days.

I get confused by the people who always have to see the pop-up ad before they log in. It only comes up a third, or at most half, the time I log in, and there's a convenient little X that closes the screen before the ad even starts. Either that, or I go back to the previous screen, then come back to the log-in screen and it seems fine. I do find it weird when I get the pop-up ad when I log out, though. That seems to defeat the purpose.

Anyway, thanks for the new links. Hooray, something new to add to my Google Reader!

How do you feel about Google reader? I am shopping around for the whole rss feed thing and was curious.

I like it just fine. I like how I can log in to my email over there and then click "Reader" to see if anything new is posted. If multiple feeds have new entries, it gives a total amount of new posts plus how many new posts an individual page has. You can even read most if not all of a post through the reader, though images won't show. It's very easy to click on through to the actual page, too.

I find it's helpful because most of the pages I read are friends' websites that get updated infrequently, and this way I'm not constantly going to check them to see that they did write something.
