So, listen, about a year ago there was a massive shift from LJ to tumblr fandom-wise and that's great! That's fine! I'm just old school and like LJ, where things move slower and things don't get quite as heated.

The only problem with that is the last time I gave up tumblr for a bit ... well, almost nothing happens here. A few other people expressed the idea that they want to come to the LJ dark side but have no clue how to use it.

( So, holla. )

whenidance's guide to surviving the new rich text hot mess

This will probably be the only public entry I'll ever make here. WHEE! :D

Some people are having problems posting large blocks of text in the rich text editor. Since it doesn't seem like LJ is fixing it any time soon, throw rich text out the window and use HTML only. valentina_says asked me this weekend what I did in high school extracurricular wise, and teaching myself HTML when the computer nerds couldn't is the only thing that's even remotely helpful 10 years later.

( Helpful coding in here )

There's probably something like this out there, but I was too lazy to find it. My recommendation is to never look at the rich text side again and come to the HTML dark side. It's confusing at first but SO MUCH easier once you get the hang of it. Like, any time I post anything, all I have to do is copy and paste because I've done the formatting all along. If anyone has any questions on anything, I'm definitely willing to attempt to help. :)
