recent comments
I've been frustrated with how this whole commenting thing has been working. I get some comments on the rss feed on livejournal and some comments here. Neither was ideal. When I get comments on livejournal, it doesn't email telling me that I got a new comment so I would have to keep checking to see if anyone has said anything. When I get comments on yarnaholic, it emails me but it doesn't let people I respond to know that I have responded.
So I just added a "recent comments" section on my left sidebar. Now, everyone should just comment on yarnaholic instead of livejournal. I will get emails letting me know I have comments, and you can look in the sidebar to see if new comments have been made on a post you are interested in. That's the best compromise I can come up with.
I think it will work. So comment on yarnaholic from now on! :D
Oh, and let me know if you run into problems with the "recent comments" thing, like if having only six shown is too few.
smooches!

hey! can't you set up LJ to not allow comments? I have a friend who is traveling and she uses LJ as well as another journal. She has disabled comments in her LJ, but there's a link that says, Leave a comment in my journal, which takes you to the journal she's regularly updating. It might help. I don't know how/why people are commenting in your LJ anyway. I only see about 2 lines of your post there and have to come here to read the whole thing.
anyway...my 2 cents. I hope it helps. :)

Lara! (when are we getting together?)
Nope, I can't do that because it isn't an actual journal. Yarnaholik is just the lj name for the rss feed but it isn't something I actually have access to. It just automatically picks up posts when I post here. :/

oic...and I didn't know you had responded until I happened to come over here and check. hmm. So, then why not continue to use LJ? Do you like this format better? And I thought I had solved your problem. hmm2.
(as for getting together, I can't do a think until after Nov 7th. It's all papers, studying, and tests for me until then. Why did I go back to school?!)

You'll just have to keep a close eye on me ;)
Ya, I'm pretty sick of lj actually. I like this much better. Plus I can make it prettier. I'm pretty busy lately too, but maybe Thanksgiving weekend or so. You still come down to Mountain View a lot? And do you still see the other MDC chicks?
