I'm so tired and my knees are killing me

[rafiwinters]

 Either it's too much exercise or it's the *&@!# weather or it's both (for you non-Bostonians, it's damp and windy here). And my feet hurt too. And obviously I'm just generally in a complaining mood. Too bad there's no mood option for "complaining." Oh, and there's nothing in the house to eat, not anything worth the name--I'm not interested in eggs or cheese or tofu or stale bread at the moment, thank you. Guess I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow. *sighs*

On the bright side, indigo_inferno likes--really likes--the West Wing fanfic, has finished the first two stories & approved them for posting. On the less bright side, now I have to keep my promise to myself and post them. I'm going to need technical assistance with this. I'll be contacting one of you soon about this... 

And despite indigo_inferno's instructions, I can't make that thing work where you type in some characters and a username and have it show up with a cute little head and a link.

Grumble, grumble, grumble...

Sigh.

I'm sorry you've got the grumpies and aches today. I hope they pass soon! But hey, if I, the fic-challenged, can post fanfic (okay, tiny fanfic, but it counts!), certainly you can do it. ;)

The thing you're trying to do goes like this (no spaces between steps):
1. Type a less-than sign
2. Type the words "lj user" (without the quotation marks and with the space between words)
3. Type an equals sign
4. Type an open quote
5. Type the user name of the person you want to link to
6. Type a close quote
7. Type a greater-than sign

That should do it. Good luck! I'd just write it out for you (as indigo_inferno tried to show you), but LJ will interpret it in an unhelpful manner.

I'll send you instructions on how to put in the user name, in an email message. You'll also need to learn how to do an lj-cut (for when you post fanfic - it's standard protocol) so I'll give you those instructions there.

And you still need a user pic. Or two. Or more. :-)

And, yes, well user pics/icons you can find @ my place, indigo_art, ans plenty of them .. ;)
