You should be able to log in with your LJ or Facebook (or even Twitter) account.<\/p>\n<p>Further, <strong><em>if this change remains<\/em><\/strong>, I plan to look seriously to deprecating my LJ presence (i.e., if the friends page is painful to read it, I&#8217;ll likely not read it). As I want to keep in touch with all of my network friends:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have a public blog and mostly post publically, I&#8217;ll be glad to add your RSS feed to my Google Reader list. Please let me know the feed URL<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ll probably move the crossposting over to my DreamWidth account, which has the same username as on LJ. I encourage those of you on DW to friend me there and to post there. I will rapidly friend you back. Please let me know if you are posting <em>only<\/em> on DW, so I can start reading my friendslist there (currently I don&#8217;t, because those who post on DW also crosspost to LJ).<\/li>\n<li>If I move the crossposting over to DW, I&#8217;ll set up DW to then crosspost to LJ, for the few souls that remain there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have quite a large number of images used on posts over in the LJ image archive. I&#8217;m open to suggestions as to how to most easily move these images onto the WordPress Media Archive, and adjust the WordPress version of the posts to use those images. I do not plan on deleting my LJ account, because I do want to preserve comments. My account is permanent, so stuff should stay around. Although, with the current Rooskie Leadership, one never knows.<\/p>\n<p>Comments and thoughts about this are welcome (of course, you&#8217;ll need to do them over here at cahighways.org).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those of you reading this on Livejournal, my former blogging platform, have already seen the massive fail that is the new \u03b2-Friends page (discussed in this post on LJ-Releases and this post on News).
