deborah: the Library of Congress cataloging numbers for children's literature, technology, and library science (Default)

I've finally given into the (in my mind, irrational) prejudice against livejournal as the host for professional blogs -- sort of. I've embedded this journal in its own address:
http://www.suberic.net/~deborah.kaplan/blog.shtml. That doesn't obfuscate its LJ-based origins (and why should it, she asks huffily, since LJ is such a good tool for the job?), because all links and comment pages go straight to livejournal. But it does give a non-LJ address for those blog-readers who'll be disinclined even to follow the links to a livejournal.com address -- and if my content isn't enough to keep 'em reading once they've realized my not so secret identity, then I'm not good enough writer to keep them, full stop. Feel free to use this address or the livejournal address if you're linking to me.

Far more usefully I've also added a link to the RSS feed for the blog.

hi deborah -- i'm sara ryan, a writer & librarian from portland, oregon. you don't know me, but i ran across your site searching for information about embedding rss feeds from livejournal. i'm interested in doing more or less exactly what you describe in the june 24th entry above for my own site. i was wondering if you could share how you did it? i'm fairly html-savvy but haven't done a ton of work with stylesheets & rss as of yet.

right now, i've got my lj embedded in an iframe here -- http://www.sararyan.com -- but that's awkward and bad for a whole bunch of reasons.

anyway, many thanks in advance for any help/insight!
also, i've just friended you. :)

Custom Text

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
