This week, we're talking about how to filter and view Friends pages to discover new journals and communities. To view public entries on the Friends page of a community or someone else's journal, simply append "/friends" to the URL (i.e., http://frank.livejournal.com/friends or http://community.livejournal.com/lj_photophile/friends).
If you'd like to filter recent entries on your own or another Friends page, here's what you do:
- To view only personal journals, append the Friends Page URL with "?show=p" (i.e., http://frank.livejournal.com/friends/?show=p)
- To view only communities, append the Friends page URL with "?show=c" (i.e., http://frank.livejournal.com/friends/?show=c)
- To view only syndicated feeds, append the Friends page URL with "?show=y" (i.e., http://frank.livejournal.com/friends/?show=y)
- To view a combination of journal and community entries (while filtering out entries from feeds), append the Friends page URL with "?show=pc" (i.e., http://frank.livejournal.com/friends/?show=pc)
- If you're using the navigation strip, you'll be able to select these options or any of your custom filters directly from the Filter dropdown when viewing your own Friends page. (The Filter dropdown is only visible on your own Friends page, not anyone else's.)
Paid and permanent users can also view recent public entries from friends of friends, by clicking the 'Friends of Friends' link under the Friends tab in the upper nav bar. For additional information, check out this FAQ. We'll be back next week with another fun tip!
