The bar at the top we call the "Navigation Strip"; there's a full range of settings in the Display settings tab. (Basically one of the first changes that DW made to the LJ codebase was to give much finer control of where the nav strip is visible, and to display it on a per-user basis rather than a per-journal basis, so that people don't need to impose their preferences on everyone else.)
The layout porting thing, I should have guessed you'd find it pretty straightforward! I keep getting people asking me how to do it, and I say, oh, you just change these three variable names and these two functions, and they complain that's way too complicated. But we did try not to break S2 too much when we were modernizing and rationalizing it (and that was a dev task that I was pretty heavily involved in, so I'm somewhat proud of it).
Custom posting software, hm. What are you doing for backup / archiving? Because I used to use LJArchive, which has a Windows GUI, but it times out trying to back up the whole of my Dreamwidth journal. I think what I need is some kind of script I can run that will talk to DW's content exporter (Perl or Python or whatever more knowledgeable geeks convince me is suitable); do you have any ideas about that side of it? |
