Matthew's Journal

Tags. Great idea, enable my readers and I to search for entries relating to a particular topic, with much more flexibility than the "memories" system.

Except, that they won't work with S1 journals. When I joined LJ, S1 was the only thing going, and I chose one of the available styles, and settled into it. S2 came along, and I played a bit, but I couldn't get it to look like my nice, comfortable S2 style. So I shrugged, and stayed with S1. After all, whilst they would only introduce whizzy new themes and suchlike into S2, that didn't matter, as I was happy with the way my journal looked.

I grumbled about the lack of tags support in S1 journals (if you try and click on a tag in an entry of mine, you just get "sorry, tags only work with S2"). The line I'm getting in the support request I opened is "well, you can just move to S2, so do that if you want tags". The thinking is that the vanilla S1 styles are available as S2 styles. This attitude annoys me because it's not true.
