Livejournal feed is, well, live. And anyone who was subscribed to it just got a buttload of my postings. My apologies.
You may notice a slight change in this page.
Well, it's the RSS thing, you see. I beat my head against it for a while and finally decided that the easiest way to work it was going to be to install a new blog.
Ahem.
Well, you had to be there to follow the logic, I guess.
Anyway, Nucleus surpassed all my expectations, in that it actually did what it said. It actually did import my entire blog from Blogger, all 124 entries, with no loss of data and minimal hassle, although I was posting from 1969 for a while there. In my experience, software that actually does what it claims to is unprecidented. Okay, so it said it would import my YACCs comments too and it lied about that, but I'll forgive it.
And the interface is bloody beautiful, a joy to work with, especially after Blogger, and stunningly customizable without being too intolerably confusing. And it's free. If you're looking to set up a blog, I highly recommend it.
Oh, and for the original point of things, yes, I do have a working, full-text RSS feed now. It won't show up on livejournal for a bit though, since the support people are the ones who have to change it. But mission accomplished.
*goes off to play with more settings*

For livejournal folks: I've finally figured out how to syndicate my blog onto livejournal via RSS feed, and have done so. The feed name is kat_feed. I did not think up this name. Blame Dan.
Unfortunately, it's only posting article headers right now. This is annoying. I'm looking into ways to fix it that don't involve large sums of money.
If you've got a paid account on LJ, please add this feed so that the points cost thingy gets driven down enough for those who *don't* have a paid account to syndicate me.
In other news... spent yesterday in Toronto, meeting yet more cool people and getting expensive chocolates bought for me and watching Return of the King. Yes, again. I think it was better the second time. Have now developed a fascination with the beacon fires (which I thought were pretty cool the first time through too) and am battling, not very successfully, urges to write yet another short story. I shouldn't. I know I won't finish it. Dammit!
