Phantomas Studio

I had totally forgotten that I had a Journalfen, opened in 2004 when I wanted to join The Establishment RPWriting game, then RL and Theatrical Muse sucked me in and I had to make a choice, and there simply was not enough time/dedication for me to play in The Est....

Which means, I also have a journalfen account!
Always phantomas :D

(crossposting to all the journals because Semagic is that cool *G*)

Just to make it clear...I'm not going anywhere NOW.

I'll follow the developments (no, I'm not happy with the way LJ is applying its TOS) and move when all the fandom moves (eventually, it'll happen, just like a big part of fandom moved to LJ from email lists a few years ago)...wheee!

I'm all journaled-out, now :D

Found this via ravurian

How to update your back up journals (insane, great, dead, etc) very simply with SEMAGIC, posted by snapetoy

I encountered an error and solved it via a comment posted to the entry - my error was "Client error: no username sent" and this comment by mieronna provided the solution.

Again, it's very simple and quick, a way to have your log-ins to the various journal sites all available at the Semagic log-in and a way to cross post easily to Insane/GreatJ etc.

And yes, Semagic is useful, a free client to use on your own pc, info and download links here - I know many just use the LJ entry page to post and such, but I've always found semagic much more user-friendly, with lots of nice buttons that I can push and will do things for me ;)

let's see if we can really flock away all together in a fan-created space. hope so (fandom_flies works alongside fanarchive, btw, two different aims: fan-blogging and fan-archiving).

sorry for the briefness, doctors to see, one hand typing annoys me, etc etc I'll get to email/comments in the evening.

Found via metafandom...WFI are at it again, against LJ...

Me, I'm working. Yay!
(well, okay, working in between browsing LJ. Uhm. But working!)

Uhm, okay.

I played around with my layout..then I vaguely remembered something about SLICES in photoshop and went "YAY, I'll make slices for my art and
put it up and have all the links to recent entries, archive, user info, etc in the art image!*

I conquered the slices part of that in photoshop, but, uh..something between the saving and uploading doesn't work. I looked into Photoshop help and it wasn't really helpful...

Can I still save the art pic as a jpg even with the slices, or...? In what format should the sliced image be saved (I only get an HTML file...do I have to face a CSS sheet and the custom option in the LJ customize panel?)

Am I trying to climb the Himalaya with a snowboard?

Any help is appreciated, point me in the right direction and I'll do the rest! Pretty please? *smiles prettily*

To make clear WHY I am so taken with this (and not only me, at that).

"I think LJ may have come up with an automated way of doing this, but if you ever need to go back and make all your public entries friends only, here is a possible tool:
