So I saw two movies, both way more crowded than I had the least interest in dealing with. Who would have thought, two weekends (and more) after release, that many people would want to go to the cinema on a Monday? Probably anybody who remembered that it was the day after Christmas and realized that the cinema would be full of parents and children on holiday break, children who would cry and race about and plaintively ask 'Daddy, why are they hurting the fox?' and 'What does that do?' and 'Can I have more popcorm?'
They were both perfectly serviceable films. I was reminded of just how much Lewis' story was not a Christian allegory and was amused when each King and Queen was assigned a cardinal compass point and an element upon coronation. And I liked the Fairy Puffs breakfast cereal at the Hufflepuff breakfast table.
I may attempt to watch them again with fewer people and when I can see the screen at a reasonable non-neck-breaking angle. But definitely not the movie going experience I'd hoped for. Rather disappointed. At least there was jamba.

Title
Poll creation

Short, concise description of the idea
I think it'd be useful to have a link to 'create a poll' from the sidebar, userinfo page or 'update journal' page.

Full description of the idea
I'm using the 'classic' style without the mouseover bar along the top--something like this may already exist in the newer format.

An ordered list of benefits

• Easier to create polls for journal entries.

An ordered list of problems/issues involved

• Clutters up sidebar with another option.

An organized list, or a few short paragraphs detailing suggestions for implementation

• Um. Edit the code for the sidebar (which if I were at all knowledgeable in coding I suspect I could just do myself but I'm not.)

Regards,
LiveJournal.com Team


And yet, I still don't see it anywhere. Just in case, I even had Firefox do a 'FIND' on the word poll on the Update Journal page. Anybody who can help me? Speak right up.

I saw enough pagan imagery in LWW than Christian allegory. ;-)

[outlawcoon.livejournal.com]

I have 'create a poll' under the 'paid account options.'

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Hunh. Which version are you using? I don't have 'paid account options' alas. (I also don't have mouseovers.)

[cerulean-me.livejournal.com]

I don't have paid account options either.

I have to go to "about" then "paid accounts" scroll down to Polls, click on "create weird own polls" which takes me to FAQ Question #69. Then I click "Poll Creater."

This FINALLY gets me to http://www.livejournal.com/poll/create.bml

To make *MY* life easier, I just put it in my user info.

[outlawcoon.livejournal.com]

I'm currently viewing the update page in IE 6.0. I just use the raw update page (even when I'm at my home PC, which I'm not now, so) so that's the only version that I know to tell you. :}

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Well yes, but your initial problem is that much Christian allegory *is* pagan imagery.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

No no no, I meant which version of LiveJournal are you using? Sorry I wasn't more explicit.

[cerulean-me.livejournal.com]

Some of the scenes in LWW came right out the Bible.... like Aslan with the girls, right before his slaughter? Garden of Gethsemne, sorta. The resurection/Susan crying, "What have the done with him?" Much like Jesus.

They took so much out of celtic lore, greek and roman myth... I really don't feel that one could say that it was more christain thatn greek, for example....

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

See, that's my problem--Garden of Gethsemane not at all.
Christ went to Gethsemane to suffer, and asked his disciples to go with him and they all fell asleep.
Susan and Lucy wake up to take a stroll with Aslan who is sneaking off before he goes to... have the bad guys make fun of him.

[cerulean-me.livejournal.com]

It still struck me being like the Garden of Gethsemane.... and I do not believe that Christ went there to suffer. We went there in preperation, to die- and beg god to stop it.

I'm not the only one that was left with that feeling.

[outlawcoon.livejournal.com]

See, I don't have any client downloaded. So I just use what comes up when I hit www.livejournal.com. I can't even find a version number anywhere, though I never thought to look until you asked.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Hrm. I bet that's it, then. The new spiffy java web format thing probably has the link. Perhaps Support forgot that anybody still uses this one. (: Thank you.
