InsaneJournal

Big resource post.
 
1) Multiple icon uploader

Exactly what it says - will upload multiple icons so you don't have to.

[For Windows] [For Mac] - both files hosted by lena

Keywordable version
[For Windows] [For Mac]

Instructions (all versions)
• Instructions for use (Win) - put all your icons in the folder, double click 'upl.bat' and type in your username and password
• Instructions for use (Mac) - put all your icons in the folder, ctrl-click 'upload.sh,' open with > terminal and type in your username and password
• Instructions for keywording - name the icon what you want its keyword to be before uploading
• Instructions for editing (for use at GJ or LJ) - edit the program using notepad or textedit (NOT WORD) and change every instance of insanejournal to livejournal or greatestjournal


NOTE Windows Vista Users
You must do the following for the uploader to work (info courtesy of horus)
start --> control panel --> user accounts --> turn user account control on/off --> unclick use User Account Control

** I would suggest turning UAC back on when you are finished uploading. It is a function of Vista that limits privileges of non-authorised programs (i.e. malware) so they can't mess with your system. **


2) LJ/GJ/IJ/JF login

Stores all your usernames for all supported LJ clones simultaneously (firefox only)

**DEFUNCT (but still here if you are interested in the code)**
Edited LJlogin (for use with New Site Schemes or Scribbld):

5) Adblockers

• Adblock Plus (Firefox)

Install and restart your browser

• IE Adblock (IE7)
(Direct link because the site is annoying as hell and tries to redirect you to download other pointless shit -- irony, anyone?)

(Mirror if the previous stops working for some reason)

Download, install, restart browser; doesn't block flash for some reason. If you want to be totally adfree, you can disable flash by going to the tools --> manage add-ons --> enable or disable add-ons --> select add-ons that run without permission --> shockwave flash object --> disable
** note that disabling this way does not differentiate between helpful flash and ad-flash **

• Safari AdBlock (Safari)

Download and install

• Adblock Filter (Opera 9)

Open urlfilter.ini (you can find this file by clicking here and copying the address - make sure to take out the quotes); copy the contents of the filter and paste them under the [exclude]; close Opera; save the ini file; restart Opera


6) Worksafe CSS fixes

My edits to the Worksafe CSS (stylish + firefox)


7) Check all boxes

Annoyed by having to click a jillion tickyboxes to clear out icons? These Firefox add-ons allow you to mass-select boxes and check them all at once.

Instructions: select all your tickyboxes, the same way you would highlight text, right click --> 'check all selected'


8) Prettify Insanejournal

http://userstyles.org/styles/16795

Replaces a number graphics on insanejournal (like )with cuter ones (like ).

Requires Firefox & Stylish; created by boundary

If you want to change the images, after installing, take a look at the code and replace the background-image with an image of your choice.
