LJ tags

[cjsmith]

I can mark an entry with a tag, but I can't do a thing with it once it's there, huh?

Let's see. I could
- convert to S2
- go back and index everything I've written
- not mind that I can only see the last hundred of something

Alternatively, I could stick with the existing memories system.

Gee. Toughie.

Hi! :-)

I sure am hoping they don't decide to do away with Memories after tags are in widespread use. That was my first thought when I heard of tags, and it'd be in character.

Hmm... I don't ever remember them taking away all support for a certain feature and leaving people completely high and dry. They added S2, but they didn't take away S1... What things are you thinking of that make it "in character"?

Older browsers. I not only got a "we won't support that any more", but attitude. Implementing new features (tags) that only work with their newer styles is another hint. Keep up with LJ's innovation or, eventually, be abandoned. *shrug* They're allowed, but this Luddite doesn't have to love it. :-)

Ah, I see.

I do hope Memories stick around. I love 'em. I was overjoyed when LJ added the "Add this post to your memories" option on the "you have successfully posted" page. What wonderful organizational goodness for a finicky indexer like me! :)
