Got a question Now what ?

[jadedmosaic.livejournal.com]

Hi Its me Toni and Shelby and Jade and Elaine here,

We have a question. We thought if we were writing in our own personal journals we could write as much as we wanted and use whatever fonts and not worry about Lj cuts. Now I am confused if something from our personal journal we just wrote made a problem for the commuity, I am sorry but I thought it was kinda personal so went into Outlook and got creative with the text and copied it into the journal. I didnet know we had to do Lj cuts in our personal journal! Do we? Or should we lock private when we want to write like about are day and have allot to say?Thanks the mosaics

If people have a problem with how your personal journal is written, that's their problem. You can write however you please in it.

Thanks I was really getting drasticlly confused since I thought I was super safe there PeaceToni

And how would that work, exactly?

Look, your personal journal is just that--your personal space. You pull the high-gloss crappy font and no LJ-cutting of stuph here, I will do my very best to politely kick your ass six ways to Tuesday. But you haven't done that here. Nothing that happens on your personal journal should affect what happens here--unless someone writes an article concerning your journal, or you copy/paste something that's overly long and badly formatted into here.

So far--other than you guys being confusing, and maybe grovelling more than you should--everything's fine as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for your inputand feedbackPeace The Mosaic house Gang

[nematoddity.livejournal.com]

No problem. :)

Just remember--it's your journal, your rules apply there. You can take advice from people, but you guys run the show--at least there.

[jadedmosaic.livejournal.com]

tell me about ut we can be pretty confused all by ourselves add the worls and we can be odd to say the least.

Sorry getting back solate our server email was down having maitenance done but were up an drunning now getting old mail Thnx Elaine

[nematoddity.livejournal.com]

Not a problem.

[linnai.livejournal.com]

I see what made you post this.

Forget about that comment on your journal. YOUR space, YOU do what you damn well please with it.

On the communities, a Mod can ask you to LJ cut and make the font small or whatever they want.

No problems.

Thanks were getting it. But it could cause a problem for friends pages I guess. Elaine just went back to be bratty and wrote more and I wouldnet be surprised if she sits up all night with Serinna and Kirsty and Cara & Margo writing angsty poems and songs. I hope not we got a lng Monday tomorrow and lots of cookies to put awy Cookies to everyone wish the computer could smell my house smells like ginger bread , anise and almond ammarotto and butter baking and choclate chips *Yummy* We thinks the nirghbord will be happy it is our goal to get a package to all 8 apartmets by 11pm

I miss my mom because she baked for christmas every year and the house always smelled good like anise and amereto and licorish.

[jadedmosaic.livejournal.com]

Yeah every year we say we are not going to do this craziness again and we do. we never got to bed. My Mom couldnet get off her dearieere to bake( she made Holidasy Hell most years but occasionally she would try. So My Grandma who essentioally was a Mother figure did the baking every year so we feel we are honoring both there memories since they passed on.
I did forget the licorice though. Drats

You might feel better even if you went to the refridgerator area of Grocery and bought the premade that you just cut and decorate and if you go to http:www.epicurious.com or the

You would also be honoring her memeory. It helped get us into a little spirit and we bought a book of Christmas stamps thats about as far as we have ventured. Bah hum Bug is really how we feel but it helped not hanging over our head.

Even making a batch of Choclate Chips might make you feel better. The ammeratto almond are real expensive cause it requires almond paste, so I dont recommend them unless your baking for gifts. Wish I could send you the smells but hey try and start your own tradition big or small it really helped us.

ohhhh I love baking smell I love it love it love it!! sometimes we bake just for the smell even when we're not hungry. I love cinnamon and melted butter and brown sugar.

[ksol1460.livejournal.com]

Someone once asked me, personally, what I thought was the best thing about being plural and I immediately replied "My sister's cooking."

Especially this time of year. Oh my goodness.

[eridanusus.livejournal.com]

Inside sister I assume :) Dad and Chris are still arguing other whether we can open presents on Litha. I think we're going to make pancakes, at least. Dunno why pancakes, but apparently the Tribes eat pancakes on midsummer, so... pancakes. *shrug* It's bread in Autumn Harvest though, I'm looking forward to that. Bread and grape juice or wine.

[jadedmosaic.livejournal.com]

[bluegodjanus.livejournal.com]

People who have friended your personal journal(s) might complain if you make, say, a long post that's not behind a cut, but that's mostly their problem. You're not particularly obligated to listen to any of them.

[jadedmosaic.livejournal.com]

Yeah we like your s its a cool journal. We thought our post mistakingly ended up on multiplicity, but once we knew it dident then we wondered about friends pages but nobody ever complained before, so ya take the good ya take the bad and all the in betweeen. I guess There having a rough night and we hope they work things out.

Thanks for your advice .

Now Elaine is going to be her bratty self and do long run on paragraphs in strange fonts, I told her to cool down. She kills me.
More Cookies to get out of Oven Peace the Mosaic House Gang

[ksol1460.livejournal.com]

*points to what bluegodjanus said*

Although I would advise you to friendslock your personal livejournal due to the extremely sensitive nature of some of the things you talk about like the court case et al.

[jadedmosaic.livejournal.com]

Thanks yep we'll check that out. No today we dident write about Court and we will remeber to friends lock if we do for sure ok. I gotta find bluegodjanis post to see what your speaking of. Peace The Mosaic House Gang

Like the others said, your journal is your space. Some people may ask you to use an lj-cut for certain topics in your personal journal (for example, if you post a graphic description of abuse and they found it triggery), but it's still your personal journal so the ultimate decision is up to you. It's also considered polite to use an lj-cut before very wide images that would cause a person to have to scroll left and right to read anything on their friends page, or for memes (many online quizes contain bad HTML which would ruin someone else's journal style while your post is on the page) or for an image that is considered to be not work safe (anything that would get someone fired if their boss walked in while they were reading their friends page). But again, this is all just considered "polite". Your journal is your own space. If you want something to be read by the public, mark it public. If you want something to be read only by those on your friends page, mark it friends only. If you want something to be read only by your system, mark it private.

[jadedmosaic.livejournal.com]

Thanks we havenet even figured how to do images yet although were trying but no westick to a basic article we get from Om like a dailey devotional and tehn write about how we feel about it or sometimes we jsut blab back and forth to improve communication , a poenm here and there a songlyric or jsut a to do list or grateful list or what are day is like if it turned out unexpected Thnks for breaking it down though Peace The Mosaic House gang

[pthalo]

No problem. :)

The way to do an image is this:

<img src="http://www.website.com/yourpicture.jpg">. You just paste that code into your entry. In order for it to work, you have to replace http://www.website.com/yourpicture.jpg with the URL of a picture that is uploaded onto the web (it can't just be in your computer). The usual method of finding the URL of an image is to right mouse click on the image and click something like "copy the url of the picture" or something, I don't have an English browser to hand so I can't tell you exactly what it'll say. I think in Internet Explorer it might say something about a shortcut or something. Anyway, once you've figure out which option is involved, just type Ctrl V (hold down both keys at the same time) and it will paste the URL into your entry. Then just type the rest of the code around it and you're all set.

[jadedmosaic.livejournal.com]

Hi, gee thanks were going to put your post in are favorites so we have it handy as a reference. Yeah with explorer when ya right click it says copy or short cut so I'm gald you told me that cause I would of thought whatever it says in pictures under the picture.

Boy In Windows that right click is a handy little tool. We clicked on a e amil the other day and we right clicked and it gave us the address. So then we tried right clicking on Icons and it tells the places one gets them from like websites or key words, so we have lots of places to research for pictures of us. Or what looks like us. Thank you so much we will begin practicing so accpect our journal to look a little strange till we get the hang of it. dark Mountain showed us how with a picture from them to now that we knlow about the tag that will help allot . All we can do I tell everyoneis try and fail or try and do well.

Were kinda computer morons. Like Toni was afraid if she right clicked we were going to explode the computer shes a blast. Thank You Very Much Kirsty and Margo and Shelby , Elaine says Hi

[pthalo]

(oh, and this method will only work if you aren't using rich text mode (the what you see is what you get mode). If you're using rich text mode, just click on one of the buttons, the one with a picture of someone's face and paste the URL there.)

if it still doesn't work, then the image is probably uploaded to a place that doesn't allow remote loading (meaning that image can only show up on the original website it was posted on, not on LiveJournal.) in that case, you'll have to find another image, unless you have your own server or some place to upload something to. If you pay for a paid accout with LiveJournal, you can always use Scrapbook too which is very easy. It lets you upload pictures from your computer (or somewhere on the web) to your LJ and then post them in your journal.

[jadedmosaic.livejournal.com]

Cool that sound s eaven easier we knew that face meant something but because of Toni wee afraid to click it No I'm going to click eevrything and see what it is. Thank You allot Margo & Kirsty

[pthalo]

Don't worry about clicking around and experimenting with the buttons on the rich text page. You can't break it. The only things I can think of off the top of my head that you can't undo are: deleting posts (by pressing a button that says "delete this post" or whatever the english version is), deleting comments (clicking the x shaped thing), deleting part of your post with backspace and then saving that, and you can't edit comments. Otherwise, you can pretty much experiment with anything. if you accidentally delete your entire journal, you can undelete it easily (with nothing lost).

There's also the FAQs: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faq.bml. There are al ot of them, but if you have spare time they usually have step by step explanations of how to do what. This FAQ has some quick answers to some quick questinos: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=207

And you can search the FAQs for what you think might be keywords: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqsearch.bml.

So if you want to learn about deleting comments or something, you just type deleting in there and it takes you to a page like this http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqsearch.bml?q=deleting&lang=en_LJ. That makes it easier to find which FAQ you're looking for.

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

Yes, your journal is your own space, you can write what and how you want, and if people don't like it, they don't have to read it.

That said, note that public posts are exactly that - public - and may be read by anyone who's got Internet access. If you post comments to other Lj users or communities, you can expect that people will then go to your journal to check out who you are. If there's personal things you'd really rather not have some random troll use to try and hurt or discredit you, don't write about them in public posts.

[jadedmosaic.livejournal.com]

Thnks yeah someone from knitting went to my journal and its gotten crappy over there so whatever I dont remember friending anyof them but I didnt make it a friends only journal which I may be forced to do in the future.We do allot of bableing back and forth which reads like Q& A and transcripts to so I guess it freaked out knitting only one gal it took to not share paterns anymore whatever thast life Have a great day The Mosaic HouseGang

[luwana.livejournal.com]

Sometimes people will get annoyed if you make a massively long post, or a post with a lot of pictures, or just a big picture. They're of course entirely justified in saying "look I don't like that"

You're also entirely justified in saying "Sorry, but I want to," even if I or they may not agree with you saying so.

None of it should cause problems in this community.

[jadedmosaic.livejournal.com]

Well pictures nobody has to worry about yet we have tried copying and pasting to no avail, and tried using the URL for images and that does not work for us either. Its just long text as you can see most of us our consitently wordy, which were kinda proud of for the mere fact of being predictable in one area in life it got us through our Internship with nobody suspecting when we wrote process notes cause we were very deatailed and they could count on it. ha Lol Peace Toni & The Mosaic House Gang

"Well pictures nobody has to worry about yet we have tried copying and pasting to no avail, and tried using the URL for images and that does not work for us either">

You need the HTML tag <img src> to make it work - like this:

...which comes out to:


Note that quite a few people are likely to have problems with your posting images that are uploaded to their servers - "stealing bandwidth", that's called. The polite thing is to save the image to your own computer, upload it to your own server, and then post it.

[ksol1460.livejournal.com]

Also, in our personal livejournal, we use the Scrapbook feature. Livejournal gives you some web space to upload pictures to your Livejournal account. There is a link saying "Scrapbook" at the top (or side -- wherever you see all the links like My LJ, Journal, Manage, Help, etc.) of regular Livejournal pages.
