Test post plus

[byslantedlight]

I'm trying to work out if what I heard once about replacing icons so that they don't vanish is true, and I was going to make this a private test post, but actually... hello! I was going back through my posts to find one where I'd used this icon (made by Norfolkdumpling), so that I could see whether it vanished and was replaced by my default icon or whether it could be replaced by a different icon with the same keywords (ETA - It worked! It worked! It's now showing my icon, not the one that I originally posted here!), and I realised a few things.
- I'm definitely not using all my 160+ icons when I make posts!
- It's been a very poor year for posting, even worse than other years which I thought were poor
- I've not made a photo post for ages, let alone a series of them
- The last couple of years (2017-2018) sucked for various reasons, but the sucking turned into some pretty fab things
= If I don't start posting again, I'm going to regret it when I look back over my lj next time! And because of course it's hard to chat to people when they're not posting, and I miss that!

For now - have some icons I made yesterday, and posted elsewhere to macklingirl's Icon Challenge:

They're not brilliant, but they were fun to make. *g*

And I will save anything else I'm going to say for the next post, which will find out if the icon-thing worked. *g*

How're you doing? Melting like me, in this incredibly bright late August day? Or...?

Well I don't want to appear ungrateful but it's too damn hot for me...

Another great collection and if I'm forced to choose my favourite would be the final one of Cowley.

(And your lovely nets put mine to shame.)

Beautiful photo out your window. I've got a bright cool day, so I'm enjoying it. Also I love the icon of the lads in their matching green shirts, so I'll harvest that when I'm on a machine that can.

I haven't done a great job of posting this year, either. :(

I also need to start using more of my icons than just the default. I have such fun making icons, then I hardly use them. :(

The ones you made are lovely!

preparing to melt a wee bit more today! ::waving from the Smoke:: (I already mentioned how much I like 1 and 3, but 5 is rather smashing too come to think of it :-) )

So how did you get it to fill the deleted icon with a similar one instead of your default icon? Or is this, too, just usable with the new style of LJ?

Don't tell me it's been hot over there! :-( Keeping my fingers crossed that it cools off within the next two weeks. Lovely picture out your window, by the way. :-)

*waves hello*
I love your icons, well done! Especially the one with Bodie surrounded by greenery ;)
Is it just me, or do the lads' nose profiles look a bit 'chopped off' in the one where they're "running all the way"? *g*

I don't use all of my icon allowance from LJ either, but I don't know what you mean by "replacing icons so that they don't vanish"... (?)
