A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

If we have a host (Kristen), why not go to Wordpress? Lots of people here (including me) have used it and it's free & easy to set up.

ita, have you taken a look at your Buffistas cpanel under "Fantastico"? There are a bunch of scripts that can be auto installed for free, including WordPress.

I'd have to upgrade your account but that wouldn't be a problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That would be excellent. We'll need to give all the admins posting access (I've never used Wordpress--I don't know how that works), and then we'll be good to go.

No need to preserve the posts we already have, and I'm assuming we can RSS into LJ, although I guess we'll need another feed name.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Lj would probably be able to edit the feed for us, too. Maybe.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

LJ can edit a feed address - there's even a request form to have it done.

Oh, cool. I forget there are people there.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Would a stompy please change my board name to Theresa? Please. I'll change my tag so people know it's me.

eta: Magic! Thank you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Would it be possible to get a list of the top posters these days?

t curious

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

By thread, or across the board? There was by thread code available to the stompies that I never updated when I changed the thread architecture.

There's a list. It's totally on it.

Either, really, or both. Whatever works.
