No content, just buttons

[jducoeur]

Just got around to reading the LJ News Update from last week, which has yet more interesting stuff. (Somewhere along the line, LJ clearly decided to start investing in development again.) From that, I found out about the newish LJ-Like feature, which is more or less LJ's answer to sharing.

So, purely as an experiment in new features, I present what should render as silly sharing buttons, at least the one I care about. Feel free to click on them, if you feel like trying sharing of LJ entries via this otherwise pointless entry.

Well, that's broken. Reposting this on LJ makes it show up on my page attributed to me, with no source link to here at all. If you click through, you get to this entry, but if you're just reading it on your friends page, or directly from bleemoo.livejournal.com, it's very non-obvious where it's from.

I've deleted the repost, because I really don't like that, but if you want me to put it up again so you can see, let me know.

Hmm. When this was reposted by laurion, I had a moment of cognitive dissonance as I wondered why this was showing up in my feed twice.

It took some hunting to find the "reposted by". Non-ideal UI, I think.
