Mmmm. Photo challenges.

You know, my favorite part about photo challenge sites isn't even entering my photos. Nor yet is it the encouragement to use my camera more, which I love.

It's seeing the other photos. These are pretty. And dramatic, in some cases. (Of course, "magazine cover" as a topic - taking a photo suitable for the cover of a magazine - is much safer than "liquid" was....)

And may I ask you a possibly stupid question...how do you post to a community you're a member of? I cannot figure out how. @_@;;

Depends. In the Windows client (NOT Semagic), hit ctrl-J or go to LiveJournal->Select Active Journal. Choose the one you want to post to, then post as normal. (Make sure it got set back before you make your next post - if you kept the default settings, it should do this automatically.)

In Semagic, select it in the "journal" drop-down at the bottom. If you can't see that (on the same line as "post entry" in mine), go to "View" and check "Active Journal", then use that drop-down.

If posting from the web site, you need to be logged in to the site itself (not just inputting user name and password onto the form) and you need the full update page, not the quick update: http://www.livejournal.com/update.bml?mode=full - reached via the "..." next to Update Journal link, or at the "For more options, click here" link on the shorter update form.

On the full update form, if you are logged in when you load it, the "journal to post in" will be the first item in optional settings (below the main text box and first update button) and will be a drop-down with your journal and all the communities to which you have posting access.

There are some other considerations in the FAQ (which is a bit general about clients, blast it):

OK, I'll give it a shot. I think I may try in GGOD to see if I'm doing it right, but will delete any dead space. Thanks for the information. It sounds easy, although usually this means it's the death knell for me. ;-)

And....it worked! Thanks! That was easy! ;-)
