Unless a miracle happens (like, LiveJournal acknowledging that a recent code release has accidentally broken a feature for a small subset of technically-disadvantaged users that nobody is interested in) it looks as if blogging via LiveJournal is set to go the way that my previous blog did, namely limited to posting via the mobile phone interface and with no way of editing errors other than deleting the entire article and re-submitting...

*sigh* I get so fed up with 'upgrades' that just make sites slower to use and/or inaccessible (IMDb, I'm looking at you) -- what was wrong with the old method of setting the date for a journal entry that it had to be rewritten with a whizzy interface that happens to disagree with the only browser on my computer that can actually access LJ? (The site already crashes three other browsers for reasons unknown...)

(Posting links apparently works via this interface: posting italics apparently doesn't.

Ah, italics do work; it's just that they're only visible after exiting the 'mobile interface'.

Would you like an invite code to DreamWidth? I have a bunch available to give out. That's my primary Journalling home these days (my stuff only shows up on LJ because I automatically cross-post). DreamWidth's look and feel is pretty much the same as LJ's -- prior to all these recent "upgrades," that is.

Thanks; it's very kind of you, but I don't think I can face setting up everything all over again until I'm 'pushed', and now that I've worked out a work-around I shall just sit and complain, for the moment.

I shall probably have to leave in the end, but not until I'm forced... (I never did get round to importing all my back blog entries into LiveJournal, as it was!)

[capriuni.livejournal.com]

Okay. Just thought I'd offer.

Import finally completed... eleven years later and on Dreamwidth, ironically enough!

Hurrah - a miracle has actually happened and I can post again :-D
