I have been using LochJournal for posting to my LJ for donkey’s years now. The difficulty came when I changed my screen resolution and realised that the front window of LochJournal had a major but in it: it can’t be resized. Thus, the right hand side of the window is cut off, with no scroll bar or Maximise button to use to see what’s over there. The window also gets a bit weird-looking when the screen resolution is changed.
So I’m currently trying Semagic, which is another front-end editor for LJ. So far, it seems to work OK, and I suppose that I will just change. I have considered moving to blogging from my web page, but will need to consider exactly how to do that–I’ve not tried it and the LJ instructions aren’t the clearest.
Update: I forgot to say, you can add tags at the same time as you post, although the tag list you get is a drop-down that only shows the first letter of a tag unless there is only one existing tag with that letter, thus it’s hard to scroll through and select a previous tag unless you’re very familiar with your tags. In addition, you can edit the last entry through the Semagic front end. Neither of these things is possible with LochJournal.
