Of LJ and other things

[smtx030]

I'm doing most of my terse communicating on facebook and my rambling on thefifteenth.wordpress.com. I started over there to get familiar with Wordpress, to write about music, and to give myself something to do back when I was laid off. When I started working again I didn't do much with it, but lately I've been posting Netgalley reviews there, and I've been adding other reviews and whatnot over there. It's mainly an unread blog, like most blogs these days, but I like having a place to keep things, a place to ramble, and, if necessary, a place I can point to from fb to say, here's the long version.

All the changes on LJ over the years have led to a lot of people abandoning it. I keep checking but the handful of people I know here tend to post a lot of the same things on fb or link back to lj. Communities have collapsed. Syndicated pages have stopped distributing content. It's just not fun here. Facebook was never as fun as this place was at its peak. Alas.

There are good days and bad days here on Livejournal, as ever. It does seem as active to my eyes as it ever did, although the roster of people who get the bulk of my attention has changed over the years.

I will note that the feeds tend to accumulate bunches of posts to pass along in bigger gulps, rather than passing them along as they're published "at source". Which is a bit on the weird side.

"The FIfteenth" is now bookmarked.

I had no idea you'd started another blog. It's been added to my RSS feed. (I liked your JJTrek and wrong things Axanar fans have said posts.)
