more on LiveJournal feature updates
On friendsfriends, someone mentioned the new profile layout, so I plugged in my own profile.
I'm not entirely sold on it, but I do like having so much information condensed at the top. (The Last Updated seems to be in GMT, but the hover text tells you how long ago it was, so that's neat.) And LJ Search! I was aware such a tool existed, but never knew exactly where to find it (and had sufficient workarounds that I was never sufficiently motivated to track it down). edit: It's actually just LJSeek, which I already knew about, and which in my use since I've found is actually sometimes less effective than my previous workaround of site-specific Google-searching. Sigh. /edit And it tells you how many tags you currently have -- which reminds me of something I meant to post about a while ago:

Basic Accounts can have at most 1000 different tags (each tag counting once, even if you used it for more than one entry). Early Adopter, Plus, Paid, and Permanent Accounts can have at most 1200 different tags. If you have more tags than the limit for your account type, you will be unable to create new tags until you delete enough existing tags to go down below the limit.
