Livejournal Questions

This actually has nothing to do with the recent drama.

I have a confession to make. I'm a genius. But I'm really tragically stupid also.


-how to put on a header. And why everyone can figure it out but me.
-what a DDoS attack is. Looked it up on Wikipedia. Still really don't understand.
-where everyone gets the equipment to do all the icons and everything they do. Seems to me that stuff costs a fortune.
-how to write short fanfic.
-who Rodney is.
-Henry Jenkins.
-GIP.
-how NOT to hotlink some images. I can do it if the image is in a format Photobucket will upload, otherwise I don't understand.
-how people keep up with their flists.
-how people keep up with stuff like which new cat macro is funniest.
-how anyone keeps up with anything.
-why [livejournal.com profile] seraphcelene can't be here RIGHT NOW, I dunno, making pie with me.
-how people find out people are talking about them when said people are not talking to them. It's not that I don't like gossip. It's that I don't understand it. I literally seem to have trouble paying attention to anything not aimed straight at me with a missile launcher.
-why I like Harry/Draco.
-flangst.
-how people not being able to post really isn't connected to the Great Strikethrough.
-how to play most online videos, or dl the equipment.
-birthdays.
-why I didn't find a plane ticket to NYC for an earlier day so I could watch DB with [livejournal.com profile] a2zmom.
-Spike.
-betas.
-most emoticons.
-who Jo is.
-what Due South is.

Birthdays are here:

http://www.livejournal.com/birthdays.bml

The person has to have their dob in their profile, though or it won't show up.

Not hotlinking; just right click, save it to your own saving place and point people at it there, not the original place. If you don't have your own web page or something, LJ hosts stuff for free depending on your account type. Imagine everytime someone looks at it, it costs a penny; you make sure it's coming out of your purse not the original poster's.

Keepign up with my list; I'm home all day, speed read and skim very fast :-)

Jo is (probably) one of the female secondary characters on Supernatural. her mother is Ellen who owns a roadhouse where hunters hang out and she wasnts to be one as her dad was. She has a thing for Dean, but who can blame her? ;-)

Rodney is a character from SG-1/SGA, arrogant, immensely smart, cute, allergic to lemons. In my icon :-)

Betas check your fic from anything from typos up, depending what level of betaing you want.

Thank you for the birthday link! Awesome.

So, you save the image to your hard drive, and then upload it. *slaps forehead* I used to know that. I started using so many places where you could upload from a url that I forgot.

I read really slow, I guess that's it.

Thanks for the explanation on Jo. I thought she was from SPN, but I never see anyone talk about her, just...name her, and it was weird. I've seen a couple eps but never heard her mentioned, must've just watched the wrong ones.

Everyone always seems to talk about Rodney. Thanks for the quick run down.
