Writer's Block: B.Y.O.B. Holidays

Officially celebrate? Well that'd pretty much be Christmas. I do it for the loves. ^.^

My family is pretty big on the family get together things, so its nice to have any excuse. I also celebrate my Nieces birthdays, but that isn't so much an official holiday.

I do make a nod to the other events as they pass or I find someone is of the particular faith. Why? Simple answer: Why not? More complex answer: Why is it an issue? If I were a particular denomination and someone said Happy/Merry/I'a/Cheerful Christmas/Hanukkah/Cthulhu/Kwanza, I can fairly safely assume that they are saying it with the best intentions. (One exception. ;p)

tl;dr - Live journal is disabling certain links to websites by routing the results to other selected locations based on keywords in the links. You go to gleebay.com or something, the link instead takes you to ebay.com, completely bypassing your gleebay.com.

Do opt out:
1. Open the Admin Console at http://www.livejournal.com/admin/console/
2. Execute the following command: set opt_exclude_stats 1

It seems this only protects YOU not visitors to your site. I'm going to do additional research on it though...
