LJ newbie

[sid]

Why, why, why did I do this? Don't make me regret it!! I suppose I'll either figure it out as I go along, or give it up altogether, LOL.

SIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *pounce*

Welcome to LJ! :D

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help.

Um, thanks!

[sid]

That was quite a pounce - it may take me a while to recover!!

Re: Um, thanks!

[wraith816.livejournal.com]

Yay, you figured out how to reply to a comment. *is so proud of you*

Re: Um, thanks!

[sid]

Oh, hell. I've mastered it already. teehee

Re: Um, thanks!

[wraith816.livejournal.com]

Now all you have to figure out is f-locking, lj cuts, posting to communities, tags, friends filters, layouts, memories... ;-)

Re: Um, thanks!

[sid]

Forget about memories. I intend to forget everything, as quickly as possible. Layouts? If you mean trying to spiff this closet up and make it all pretty, that's LOW on my priority list! LOL.

You won't regret it, Sid. LJ is a wonderful place to post smutty fics. And pics. ;-)

Smutty fics

[sid]

I suppose I can post all my old stories here. Someday. Somehow. So that's a definite plan. Maybe. Probably.

YAY!! SID! {{{{Ginormous Hugs}}}}

You're gonna love it here! It's very addicting.

Addictive properties of LJ

[sid]

And that's exactly why I've been resisting all this time! Foolish me. Just give in.................

[execknowitall.livejournal.com]

Just don't get sucked in by the draw of the paid account or the 100 icons. *whistles innocently*

Re: Addictive properties of LJ

[sid]

Not going to be a problem. I mean, come on, have you ever seen me use more than one icon??

Re: Addictive properties of LJ

[execknowitall.livejournal.com]

I thought that too. And, the free account gives... what... 6 icons now? Still wasn't enough after a while. It's a sickness, I tell ya. Just don't get sucked in. I'm warning ya now. *giggle*

Re: Addictive properties of LJ

[or-mabinogi.livejournal.com]

But sucking is good. *pout*

Re: Addictive properties of LJ

[execknowitall.livejournal.com]

Well, in certain instances... yes. ;-)

[amnellwyvern.livejournal.com]

SID!!!!! Hiya! Welcome to LJ!

Thank you!

[sid]

Gosh this LJ thing is great! Already I feel like I've known you guys for ages. :-D

Oh, wait.....

Re: Thank you!

[execknowitall.livejournal.com]

Hehe. Hide & Seek time! We found you, now you gotta go find us! *runs off to her LJ*

Re: Thank you!

[sid]

Yes, you go hide. I'll be along soon. I just have some errands to run first. So get comfy. :-P

Re: Thank you!

[execknowitall.livejournal.com]

That's okay... we're playin' with stats. We'll be here when you start lookin'. ;-)

Oh! You're HERE! I was wondering if I should start dropping hints... 'lalala Hey, get an LJ account! lalala'

Also, in the LJ FAQ section (under the Help tab in you User Info page) they have a list of LJ clients (http://www.livejournal.com/download/), which turn coding into something more user friendly. I started out with one and it helped so much with putting things behind cuts and linking and all that. Highly recommend them, but it will depend on what kind of computer you have.

Coding

[sid]

I think I may have already found that, but it's pretty much a big blur, so thanks! I'm sure to want to use a cut sooner or later, linking, too, and it would be a lot easier not to have to remember how to code/type code correctly.

lalala yourself, btw!!

[delphia2000.livejournal.com]

Hiya Sid! Welcome! I don't use mine all that much but it's nice to read and see what everyone is up to with their account. I used up all my 6 icons, mostly with the lovlies that Mabi made me, but I'm not into icons enough to try to budget for a paid account. Not even going to think about getting a fancy layout and I have to read the FAQ to use the cuts. Still have problems navigating too. Yahoo is easier for me. However, some fun stuff here.

Back atcha!

[sid]

Thanks for the welcome! I'm making such wonderful friends here. Hahaha. (gotta stop using that joke) ;-)

[sgflutegirl.livejournal.com]

Yay..Sid!!! You finally jumped on board!! It's great fun, and like most everyone else has already said, v. addictive!!

Hiya, Flute!

[sid]

Yes, I'm on board. And it's moving waaayy too fast to jump off again! *gulp*

Re: Hiya, Flute!

[sgflutegirl.livejournal.com]

Yep, it can be a wild ride!!

{{{SID}}}

[trika.livejournal.com]

Welcome to LJ!! Once you get the hang of it, you're gonna love it!

Re: {{{SID}}}

[sid]

Ooh, you confused me and I learned something new! You were the only one to put a Subject line on your post. I couldn't figure out for a sec why that line wasn't blank this time!

Thanks for the hearty welcome! {{{Trika}}}

Re: Teehee!

[trika.livejournal.com]

Well, you don't have to use it, silly. ;-) Or you can change it with every post.

[sid]

Stop mocking me! LOL

[lunachickk.livejournal.com]

SID!!!!!! Not to worry about lj. I barely know what I'm doing too. I just ask Wraith. *eg*

[sid]

Thanks, Lunie! I will cease worrying this very moment, LOL!

[tigerlilly2063.livejournal.com]

Hi Sid!

I got to read your series How It All Began through _minxy_ and I just LOVE it! So many secret desires to discover! And you put them nevertheless very well in character.

_minxy_ also mentioned that you now have an LJ, so WELCOME! *glomps*
Hope you don't mind me friending you.

[sid]

:-) I friended you right back!
Glad you enjoyed the series; I've been planning to write it for ages, and finally couldn't put it off any more! I'm getting lovely feedback (like yours) and it's terrific! Thank you!!

[amanda-is-wacky.livejournal.com]

Hee, heya :-)
I see you've turned to the LJ side *g*

Glad you friended me though!

[sid]

*waves happily* Yes, I have been sucked in! And not in the good way!
