there's a full range of settings in the Display settings tab
Thanks; I hadn't spotted that. Unfortunately all the boxes are ticked and the navigation strip still isn't showing up for me; my guess is that that's because my S2 code is failing to call whatever method optionally inserts the navigation strip into the generated HTML. I should probably just go and find the docs and work out what I should have called and where. (Which of course will be easier now you've told me the proper name for it.)
Custom posting software, hm. What are you doing for backup / archiving?
Hmmm. Perhaps I should have said "horrible hacky script" instead of "custom software", to give you a better idea of its general level of organisation :-) I don't have a full-on client by any means; all I've got is one script which lets me write posts in a markup language I made up off the top of my head, and then formats them into HTML for LJ, into plain text for posting to a private journals newsgroup, and into colour-enhanced plain text for posting to Monochrome BBS (where I've maintained an online diary since before LJ and blogging were famous :-).
Archiving of my LJ is something to which I have so far not taken a particularly joined-up approach. The posts I make are archived in the form I post them on Monochrome, because I happened to already have the technology to do that. Comments on my posts are archived either in my email archive (which is why I like self-comment notifications) or in a big directory of HTML files I created one day by spidering my entire LJ (the idea being that the latter covers all the comments from before I started keeping those emails).
It would probably be a good idea to look into sensible content exporters, but it's a long way down my to-do list at the moment... |
