We've updated the global navigation menu:

• Scrapbook can now be found under Profile (thanks for your feedback, btw), along with Settings, Stats, and Edit Profile.
• You'll find all the tools you need to post and update entries under Journal, which includes posting and editing entries, managing comments and tags, and customizing your journal's style.
• Friends contains all of your friend settings, from filtering your Friends page to adding, removing, and finding new and existing friends on LiveJournal.
• Under Communities, you'll find links to manage your communities, accept community invites, and create new communities.
• Explore includes search features, RSS feeds, Question of the Day, and FRNK radio.
• Under Shop, you'll find links to upgrade or give a paid account, buy virtual gifts, purchase LiveJournal merchandise (like T-shirts), and view your payment history.

LiveJournal Mobile update:

Other important changes:

• You can lock comments to prevent further commenting on a post, while leaving existing comments visible.
• We replaced the "Tell a friend" link with a new "Share This" widget that lets you share LiveJournal posts on other social media sites, including Facebook, Digg, Twitter, etc.
• We changed some of the icons on entries (you can hover over the icons to view descriptions).
• You'll see a Tag count on your Tag management page.
• You'll now see the 10 most recent vgifts on your profile page. To remove vgifts, left-click on the vgift and choose whether you want to remove the vgift from your profile or delete it entirely.
• We've added options to help you control receipt of vgifts, which you'll find in My Stuff under Edit Profile. You can now enable vgifts from friends or everyone and disable anonymous vgifts.

We've got your fix:

• UPDATE: Rolling several updates into one listing here -- 1) Scrapbook should be back and working again. 2) The problem with the Update Journal page in IE6 and IE7 should be fixed now. 3) The problem with the userpic add-on package pricing has been fixed and refunds issued to anyone who was overcharged while the erroneous prices were in place.
• Non-conforming images will now be automatically resized for custom mood themes.
• Line breaks no longer count as two characters against your entry's character limit.
• We fixed a bug on the Manage Tags page so you can clear all tags and add new tags.
• We corrected the UI for the update.bml page so it displays properly in IE8.

Welp, Legal Matter is over. I'm actually really sad to see it go. The last two chapters: A Plan and Home have been posted up, so it's over and done with.

But since I apparently won't let go, here's one last farewell to Legal Matter: Legal Matter Annotations! Notes on references/inspiration/motivation and the occasional snarky comment.

That'll do, fic. That'll do.

Since I'm going to be starting my new fic Diplomacy shortly, I figured I'd check out a book on Diplomacy from the library. I got a really awesome book that has a lot of interesting facts and funny anecdotes. The only problem is that it's not super current. It was published in 1963 XD

I've definately found a lot of awesome things I want to reference though.

We're finishing up a few odds and ends before our next major release. Our mighty Ops guys continue to slay spambots and balance load times on a highwire without a safety net (which is kind of tough dressed in full ninja gear). Down on solid ground, we're celebrating this week's virtual birthday party with a warm toast to pants. If you can rearrange the letters of your favorite city, state, and/or country (feel free to combine these elements) to spell one of Frank's favorite treats (e.g., pants, wire, paper, etc.), he'll send you over a can of whipped cream to top it all off (provided you return the empty can for his midnight snack)! And, with that, let the word scrambling commence!

Stuff you should know:

To our paid users, we send squirrels in love!

If you have a paid or permanent account, you can send five free Squirrels in love vgifts through Monday, March 15th at 4pm, PST! You'll see both the free and the $0.99 squirrels displayed until they've scurried off to their new homes. Please send only one vgift at a time. In other words, you'll need to complete check-out and start a new order for each vgift you send. If you're not receiving vgifts (from friends and/or Frank), you may have disabled them. To enable vgifts, visit Edit profile (under Profile), scroll down to the bottom of the page, and select 'Do not disable' from the drop-down menu. Have fun!

Help is on the way!

We're pleased to announce the winner of our first charitable vgift poll, Doctors without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières, which provides critical medical care to under-served populations around the world. Priced at $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of the proceeds we raise from the sale of this vgift (we'll cover credit card fees). We invite you to start recommending nonprofits for our next fundraising drive at ljnewscontests. We'll take suggestions through the month and post a poll in the news during the first week of April to let you choose the recipient. We thank you, again, for your passion and generosity.

We've crowned a header

Congratulations to ohterlus for submitting the winning header, which will go live next week and keep us leafy through mid-April! You can submit designs for our next header contest at ljnewscontests now until March 31st. We'll post a poll in the news to let you decide which header will sit at the top of LiveJournal from mid-April to mid-May. All artistic interpretations are welcome. The winner will get a $25 LiveJournal gift certificate. All other contributors will receive $5 gift certificates. Our heartfelt appreciation for sharing your talent and creativity!

For this week's winning photo and more adventures with Frank & Meme, we'll catch you under the cut!

Warning! I am an idiot who shouldn't be trusted to take care of herself!

I feel like crap right now. But I still feel much better than I did last night.

This is because I was all distracted by computerriffic things like writing, reading fanfiction, and making graphics and somewhere in the mix I forgot to eat. This happens every so often because *points to first line of entry*.

So by midnight I was jittery from lack of sleep and lack of food and knew full-well I was too hyper to sleep, but tried to do so anyway. Heartburn and headache should've been enough to convince me that it would be best to get up and have a bowl of cheerios and watch an infomerical until my brain mellowed out a little. But because *points to first line of entry* I kept up on the "I'll fall asleep eventually" bend while trying to get my mildly delirious brain to SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP so I can go to sleep.

Well, around dawn I got a little sleep. When I woke up I choked down some yogurt and went off to church to receive some good vibes. I'm feeling better now, but still not great.

In my delusional state the evening before I blamed Xellos/Filia for my sickness, y'know? 'Cause it's totally their fault and not the fact that *points to first line of entry*. I blamed them because the writing, reading, and making graphic activities of the day were all centered on them and my brain wouldn't shut up about them while I was trying to sleeeeeep.

Am started to suspect myself of having an unhealthy relationship with this pairing.

It's not going to go away either. Legal Matter is ending next week, and then I'll be starting Diplomacy. Somehow I have no sense of closure. WHEEEE.

Actually Zel/Amelia might be my ticket back to Saneville as nothing today made me feel better than writing them a sweet little oneshot I plan to post up tomorrow.

They're so stable! Unlike SOME PEOPLE. *glares at Xellos and Filia* Jamaican me crazy! (pun makes no sense in context. do not care.)

Anyway, I'm just hoping I'll be less stupid once I actually get some sleep. I need to learn to count sheep or something, because the fiction-drafting thing may help my writing, but it does absolutely nothing to usher me into dreamland. I NEED SLEEP TO FUNCTION DAMN IT.
