Moving My Old Webpage Onto My LJ

[browngirl]

I've been looking at my defunct webpage, and my two livejournals, and thinking.

Eventually, I had an idea.

So I wrote it down.



I'm thinking of posting the bits of my webpage that I still want to save to this journal, and then stripping down what I actually put up to my resume and a revamp of the Oldest Cities in the World Page (anyone who is offended by the Oldest Cities in the World Page is not someone I want to work for)..

And so.

Basically, I'd love to know what you'd /change/ about the stories now, if indeed you would, but it drives me crazy to have updated versions of fiction-I-have-read.

Ditto the rants, if your opinion has changed.

Bandwidth is not a scarce or limiting resource, giving your location and that of the LiveJournal servers.

I'm not even sure how many LJs I have.

You should HAVE A SITE and UPDATE IT so all the Rubystuff is in one place and easily found! I'm not keen to have to wade through oceans of LJ to find what I'm looking for! I didn't even know there were Rubydrawings.

...Well, you asked.

if she tagged it, you wouldn't have to wade. Just saying.

[ilthit.livejournal.com]

I'd have to wade to find the right tag.

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

I don't think so - should be able to give a list of the links, or at worst once you find one of them you should be able to find the rest through the tags, and as she hasn't done any yet, should be easy to spot one as it comes through.

[ilthit.livejournal.com]

But a tag opens up a long list of entries, none of which may be what I'm looking for, and I'll may have to go back several pages to find the right title. On a website it's all there on one page, you only have to click twice - say fic page and then the right title. And art - she doesn't post much art, so I'd have to go through a lot of fic before I even find an art tag, and then I have to wade through the art to find what I want. I'd much rather visit a website. It's handier. Of course she'll do what she likes, and a lot of people seem to think LJs are easier to keep than websites.

And there's always the dedicated-separate-LJ option -- preferably with index-entries, that have links to the indexed .. er .. entries.

[ilthit.livejournal.com]

See, now, that would be handy!

[pickledginger.livejournal.com]

I can't take credit; I've seen the method used by several writers on LJ.

Yup, she drew me this icon. :)

[ilthit.livejournal.com]

How pretty! Damn, I've missed stuff.

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

as far as having two accounts and being unnecessarily luxurious - both paid? If so, maybe, given that your financial situation's probably tight. If not both paid, I'd say no. I do like your writing and your drawing, and I hope you keep them up one way or another, though I certainly understand wanting to make them inaccessible to work.

I've gotten very concerned in my old age that the traces of my existence should not fade away when I do. Saving your stuff to a live journal would provide a means of off-site storage at the very least, and a chronical of your work, showing your progression as a writer and an artist if that's what you'd like.

I'll have to give this a good long thought. Though, I'm with Hyel on their needing to be some sort of site -- I mean, that would be the best way to get to everything. LJ is nice and all, and the memories function is grand, as is the tags... but it's not the same as just having your own site.

Er. Yes, but I'll think about it. And maybe actually end up responding to the poll.

And of course, given how I collect the things, I don't think that having two LJs is any sort of waste.

Just wanted to add an extra-strong "yes" to the author's note bit - I love reading those.

[bercilakslady.livejournal.com]

I would love to see a website of yours that was seperate from the "official" site with resume and whatnot. It's easier to get around that way. However, if you think LJ is the way to go, I would suggest using tags and memory links to make it easy for us to find stuff.
