Simulcast over blog and livejournal!

Well...I've decided to do it. The realtionship was stable and happy, and I thought I could compromise on our differeneces but in the end...I had to leave.

That's right, I'm saying goodbye to Blogger and moving over to livejournal. This makes me very sad, since I won't have as much control over the layout (no more tiny chickens! No more spirally dividers!!) and I won't be sqbr any more :( But despite all that lj has suckered me over with it's commenting system (specifically notifications on replies for people other than me) and the fact I won't have to deal with the feed/blog dichotomy(*).

I'm don't know what I'll do with this blog now (I'm sure I'll think of something) but for the moment it will lay idle, so you should ignore http://sqbr.blogspot.com/ and http://syndicated.livejournal.com/sqbr/ and instead direct your attention to http://alias-sqbr.livejournal.com/.

Before you complain that the sidebar is unreadable, I'm going to fiddle with the colours some more later(**). You may notice that some of my old locked entries have been unlocked. Those of you not on my friends list may be happy to see you weren't missing much, I just wanted to keep things neat. Also I'll port over the more interesting blog entries when and if it feels necessary.

So, goodbye old friend. The Roost of the Purple Chicken is dead. Long live the Roost of the Purple Chicken!

(*)That's right, people who comment on the feed, you broke my spirit. Are you happy now?
(**)In case any of you are wondering, I chose this layout becuase it allows a very small amount of css, meaning I could make my own header and set the background.

Yay! Not like I ever pressured you or anything but it's always nice with more LJ:ers ;)

I thought all layouts allowed for stylesheets? But only S2s can use external ones? Me I know nothing of how those things work, I'm just happily pottering around with my theme layer and somehow getting the results I want. (Hooray for help communities for LJ styles!)

Yet another LJ convert, what is the world coming to...

You have to be a paid member to get very much flexibility with your layout. Part of me is considering it, but for the moment I'm happy enough with the compromise layout I have now.

And see, already this post has more comments than my last few blog posts put together!

*sigh* I have sold my soul for a commenting system...

*laughter* What can you expect when you're so active on LJ?
