I really should update my journal

[dampscribbler]

Though I don't seem to have much to say. Sometimes, as I'm lying in bed at night, falling asleep, I think of stories I could write, Zoe-Trope-style (how DO you do that linking thing, anyway?), in my LJ. But then, in the harsh light of day, nothing. Especially now, when I have to drive downtown for a coffee mug, start the first of 2 or 3 loads of laundry I must wash today, plan my grocery shopping, and various other boring housewifely stuff. Not to mention holiday things, like writing the cards (I still haven't even started them) and wrapping gifts and making cookies.

Well, I'd better get dowwn to 23rd before the rest of the world does. At least it's not raining today!

what a link looks like in a text editor:

<a href="http://url">linked text</a>

for example, a link to your lj would look like this in the editing view:

<a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/dampscribbler">dampscribbler's lj</a>

and like this in the entry view: dampscribbler's lj

Thanks, but how about that LJ kind of link that just has the username and the little head? I've seen you do it, but I don't know how to do it!

Are you back home now?

Whoa. LJ times are messed up! I posted the above message (and this one, too) before 9 am.

the lj FAQ is your friend! It has info on how to do lj-specific links. to link to a user, type this:

<lj user="dampscribbler">

(and yes, I'm back; I could only take tuesday & wednesday off work)
