here's a
lj news post they just posted about the horrendous changes they are gonna do to our friends page....there's a link that short post to the release page going into more detail.....and oh gee, you can now PAY to have your entries promoted on other people's LJ! isn't that special????
when this is forced upon everyone i know i will no longer be using my friend's page and that is where i go 99% of the time i am on LJ......
gotta go run errands in the rain and wind! whee!!!!! wanted to post this ASAP though!
ETA: here is a link to the comment thread on lj releases where it is mentioned that in the spring they are going to redesign the WHOLE site and do away with paid accounts....we can only surmise what a whole site redesign would entail---i'm envisioning them taking away our ability to customize....and doing away with paid accounts??? the comment thread references lj russian news---they give more news in russian than english apparently! (thanks to
marmaladeginger for posting that link!!)
dreamwidth is still invite free....we are still manning the lifeboats to dreamwidth to our
vintage ads community over there....as your captain, i will remain here til the last and shall not abandon ship!!! it does appear lj is taking on quite a bit of water though......
