Some housekeeping

walkitoutI've redone the journal layout (sorry if that was really upsetting to any of my readers) and taken advantage of Expressive's sticky text feature. I'll probably fiddle with the details over the next few weeks (or not).
I also took advantage of a related feature over on the profile page in FB. I mirror LJ on FB as a courtesy. For people still getting the hang of this, that means that the public posts here on Livejournal are automatically duplicated (mirrored) over in Notes on Facebook. The good news is, a whole lot of people who read FB (Facebook) can get immediate access to my bloggy goodness without having to figure out where livejournal is (which has been an issue). The bad news is, the commenting feature over on FB is pretty awful.
I put a little text on the profile page in FB to try to discourage back-and-forth in the comments of mirrored posts. The amount of text and the interface to commenting makes it almost impossible to post something well-thought-out, and then on top of that, you can't even edit what you posted for clarity or typos or whatever.
I'm going to look into the whole FB groups feature, and pay attention to how it develops over time. I'm hoping that it will supply a little more nuance in moderation. When I was getting my undergrad at the UW, the bb developed by K. and (never-to-be-sufficiently-damned) W. had some fantastic moderation features that I've never seen matched much less duplicated. But we can hope. Banning and de-friending are _way_ too blunt for what I'd like to do.
