1) If you are using the LJ Navigation strip, and like it (as I do), nevertheless please go to the Viewing Options page and uncheck the box for “Always show the navigation strip to anyone who views your journal or community”. This allows you to use the strip without imposing it upon anyone else.

2) I’ve taken up the new LiveJournal jabber service, where (obviously) I am nhw@livejournal.com – and also seems like I can use jabber for gmail chats. See you there! (My other online ID’s are all listed on my lj info page.)
