Never say 'never' ....

ariannaI said I'd never do this, which just goes to show what a pushover I am -- it's all Jess's fault for ignoring my rants about LJs and sending me an invitation to join and then ducking for cover. Sigh. Seemed stupid and pigheaded to refuse to be dragged (even if with some proforma kicking and screaming) into the modern era. Everyone I know seems to be here already (no, I'm not a trend-setter -- what was your first clue? ), and I do like to hang out with my friends. So, for better or worse, here I am.

Well don't. Remember this is 'your' journal. You can write and much or as little as you want and you shouldn't feel under any pressure to update. Just take your time and surf around for a while first. And also remember that you can friend whoever you want. Just because a person 'friends' you, doesn't mean you have to reciprocate.
Just have fun!
Woohoo!

As for icons, I think this tells you how upload them (if not just give me a yell) TS icons is a great place to find Sentinel icons or you can google up 'lj icons' and you'll get stacks of pages to look through.
(I don't have the exact name for TS icons -- I'll go find out for you)
Welcome, welcome!
Date: 2005-10-17 06:14 am (UTC)Hi, dear friend. So happy to see you here. It is intimidating at first, but gets lots easier with just a little practice. As Jess said, I have a basic "How-To" in this post; just click on the link -
http://www.livejournal.com/users/starwatcher307/63970.html#cutid1
It explains friending, and how to make italics and bold, but not icons. Jess will have to help you with that. Loading a story document is just cut and paste into the posting box. I haven't covered that yet, but...
a. Write your story in Word, as usual
b. Put {i} and {/i} around italics and {b} and {/b} around bolds (but use < and > instead.)
c. Save to text only, to get rid of the Word formatting.
d. Copy and paste in the posting box
e. You'll have to break long stories (ie, all of yours) into parts.
Well, I was going to get to bed on time tonight. *g* Take care; see you around.

Date: 2005-10-17 06:19 am (UTC)Thanks again, Jess. The 'world' looks a lot more appealing from inside and sure seems to have more vitality than any list I've ever been on. Once I've caught up on all my story commitments, I can see I'll have fun exploring.

Date: 2005-10-17 06:33 am (UTC)Oh, and, hey, sweetie, thanks for not saying 'I told you so!' Given how long you've been encouraging me to take this plunge, you'd be more than entitled.
Eh, we're all ready at different times. Terry and Mouse (
PS - I haven't got the email that you told Jess you sent me. Did you get your beta'd story last night?
Now I really gotta go. Good night.

Date: 2005-10-17 06:59 am (UTC)I'm adding you to my friends list right now. And I have a part of Kith or Kin? up that I haven't sent you yet - I don't need to now! It is here:-)
Yay! ::bounces::
More Kith and Kin???
Date: 2005-10-17 07:05 am (UTC)Thanks for the welcome and I'll be friending you right back. So glad you replied!
How cool is this!
Date: 2005-10-17 07:55 am (UTC)Before I got one, I swore I never would, and a friend twisted my arm/talked me into it *sound familiar?). Now I just love it.
You'll be surprised how quickly you get used to it. Good to see you here!

Date: 2005-10-17 10:24 am (UTC)Don't worry about learning how to handle everything at once. I got a journal to be able to post in
Give yourself some time and you'll figure things out as you need them. So long as you can post and comment and figure out how to friend/join comms, you've got all the basics you need to get started. Have fun. :-)
