It’s quite amusing really, how much I find LJ useless in many ways. They keep doing announcements with new features and I am yet to see a single one I’d use. In the case of editing comments I hate it because I keep getting multiple comment notifications, and since I’ve yet to see a difference in them, I only read the first (and original) one. Which means that anyone who’s taken the effort to edit their comment is totally lost on me.

Even if I had a paid account, I wouldn’t edit my comments, I’d delete them and paste them back in. Because that way no one else except those with notifications turned on can see that you’ve done anything. Notifications in LJ’s inbox (the link to which, incidentally, is handily hidden across the top) just say deleted, and gmail updates the comment so you only see the final thing. Much better all round, I reckon.

If I could just get OpenID working with my blog, then add in other plugins, no one would be commenting on my LJ because it would all link back here and be much more user friendly and spam-free. Although every time I write an entry now I think about how much I need to sort out my categories and tags, but it’ll have to wait till the Christmas holidays.
