*is like bus* - but look what lj does now!

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure whether this has been there for a while, and I just unticked it when it first came along, without bothering to explore, and now it's expanded to catch people's attention when they post, or whether it really is a new feature now. Either way - huh! It's a Related Posts feature, which shows you either 3, 6 or 9 related posts (the most recent posts by default, but you can set it to tags, which is quite useful) at the bottom of the current post. I couldn't see it working with my lj in either preview or on my friends list page, but when I go into the actual post, there it is!

This is the bit that I see now, when it comes to posting, and the first pic is (obviously) the results if you choose three pics. I can see it being useful when you're exploring lj, and maybe to remember the last post that you tagged with a certain tag... for keeping track of things a bit, maybe.

Oh, and it works in retrospect too - I could go back and use it on my last Once Upon a Time Challenge post. Ve-e-ry interesting...

Hmmn - what do you think? Has anyone been using it? D'you think you will?

(*plays around by choosing nine previous posts to include this time*)

(*plays around more by choosing my Pros tag for the nine previous posts*)

Yeah, that's pretty much what I must have thought when I saw it - I'm reading this! But just in my own lj it's kind of nice to have extra pictures pop up via tag, so I think I might like it.... *g*
