Posting links?


What's the protocol for posting a link to a Five Things post in our own journals? I would like to keep all my writing in one place, if possible.

Any precedents? Thoughts?

Thanks!

Re: Posting links?


Of course it's totally fine by us to post in your journal! We'd love if you'd post in both places, but we understand if you're not comfortable posting to the comm. To join in without posting the whole response here, just post a comment to the prompt post with a link to the fic/list in your journal.

We do ask two things, which amount to the protocol, I guess *g*:

(1) Keep your journal entry locked until we've unveiled the comment responses here.

(2) Link back to the comm by username [livejournal.com profile] sg1_five_things so that interested/curious people can find us, and link to the prompt post so that people can see the other responses that were posted.

Will post some example code separately, since I'm afeared of mucking this comment up with lj-raw if I do it wrong *g* ...

Example code


Probably you don't need this, but someone else poking around here might find it useful, so here goes (no surprise, I screwed up my first attempt) ...

Take the spaces out of this ...

Inspired by the < lj user = " sg1_five_things " > prompt < a href = " http://community.livejournal.com/sg1_five_things/33974.html " > here < / a >.

... and you will get this:

Inspired by the [livejournal.com profile] sg1_five_things prompt here.

Then you'd just swap the '33974' for the number of the particular prompt entry you're responding to. Or swap the whole url for the 'link' tag at the bottom left of the entry (right-click, choose 'Copy Link Location', and paste that over the http://...html in the example).

Instead of the word 'here', you could also put the prompt number:

Inspired by the [livejournal.com profile] sg1_five_things prompt 11.11.

Thanks so much for asking about this, btw!

Re: Example code


Thanks for the protocol and the example code (I had vague ideas of how it worked, but the specifics helped). I ended up posting in both places, so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks again!
