How in the world am I supposed to juggle two blogging sites?

[thistlechaser]

As of this morning, I think half of my active friendslist is gone to DW. Many of them (more than half?) aren't crossposting to LJ. I'd really rather not lose contact with people, but I barely keep up with my friends page on LJ, I don't think I could keep up with a DW circle(? is that the right term? Circle?).

Ugh. I don't blame people for leaving if that's what they want to do. I just wish there were an easy way to pull all the posts I want to read on LJ, DW, and elsewhere into one big feed.

You can make an RSS feed of your journal on either site, I wonder why you can't get a feed for your friendspage/circle? That would solve this problem.

Ah ha, hmmm, LJ DOES have a feed for your friendspage! http://user.livejournal.com/data/rss_friends (But that works only if you have a "professional" level account, which luckily I do.) So I suppose I could read on DW and pull my LJ friends list in there...

Well how do you like that. I made this post to complain, and by the end of it I solved my own problem.

I suppose now I have to somehow set up crossposting to both places...

Just to be confusing: I'm thistlechaser there (no underscore). Follow me here for the most likely chance of seeing my new posts. Follow me there to see them if I get this crossposting thing worked out.

And I'm guessing that is a post if f-locked it won't show up in the RSS feeds?

I'll be here. I am far too lazy and unorganized to check more than one flist LOL

I'm not leaving! I'll go down with this ship!

Crossposting's fairly simple, or anyway, the FAQ over there is useful. Let me know if you have questions or whatever.

I'm sure you can guess my thoughts on the matter, so I'll just sit here quietly. :)

I've created one over there, but haven't used it yet.
I'm going to stick it out here as long as I can...

Yep. I'm aebleskiver over there, and I've only joined in a desperate attempt to hang on to people, not because I am leaving here. But ugh.

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

I am still here.

I would really love it if you substantially moved; you're one of the few people I still follow on LJ, and honestly, I've gone from checking LJ daily to a couple of times a week, if I remember. I have been thinking about making feeds for everyone I actually read here. But I don't think that locked posts will carry over.

I'm staying here... but I added you there. :)
