(no subject)

Alright, I'm considering using tags now instead of memories. Either way I have 3 years of posts to go through because I'd never gotten around to putting anything in memories. You can't use tags for marking other people's post like you can with memories though, can you? Also, iJournal allows a much longer subject line than the LJ interface so if I go into their edit page to add the tags, a lot of times I'll end up losing half my subject if I'm using a relatively long tv/movie quote. Ugh. I'm undecided on what to do. Also, iJournal theoretically supports tags now so I can tag right as I'm entering, but I downloaded what I thought was the latest version and there's no tags spot. If I can't tag as I'm entering I might as well stick with memories since I've gotten about a year back on those... *sigh* I'm just undecided girl here...

is there a "keywords" spot? That's how Semagic flags tags.

Nope, apparently iJournal isn't down with the tags thing yet.
Well, since I'm going to have to go back through my old entries anyway I suppose I could just do both tags and memories...

You can only use tags on others' posts if they have enabled the functionality in their preferences. You can allow other users to edit your tags, or simply mark your entries with your pre-existing tags.

Personally, I like to keep my tags purely as intended, so I don't allow others to edit my tags.

But: I mostly used Memories for marking the posts of others as nifty... so perhaps you need only worry about your own posts' tags, and keep using memories for other people's posts.
