I _think_ I've finally got the DW posting set up for the delicious daily posts (thanks to

matgb basically doing it for me).

I fully expect most people to keep commenting on the LJ side, but I'm happy to have the backup, and to be using DW more.

Hmmm, so it looks like the icons are borked. Need to fix that.

I think I might have to remove them all and re-import - which I think I remember Denise saying. It's going to be a massive pain to do that individually. Anyone know of a way to delete them all in a single go?

From:

You should just be able to do an import and it should update, but I've not used the importer for more'n a year so don't actually know.

Beyond that, if you can't just mass delete them (which should be possible), ask Support to do it if you're feeling lazy?

Also, you appear to be set as 18+ by default, not actually a problem but does limit search hits &c

Have set myself to not be over-18 only.

I clicked a 132 times to remove all of the old icons, and reimported, which worked.

From:

Heh. 132 clicks.

I'm thinking a 'select all' box might be a plan for that page. But then I also seem to recall completely overhauling the UI on that page is planned anyway.

But given my brain normally assumes every page on the site is getting a UI overhaul at some point, I may be misremembering.

Depends how often people need to delete all of their icons. Can't see it being a common need...

From:

I dunno, every so often I have a fit of desire to simply start again from scratch with my icon collection. I've been using Fineas as 'me' for over a decade now, and when I look at people that have a coherent visual ID for their journal and all their icons I sometimes get a bit jealous.

I know others sometimes replace all their icons on an irregular basis, one person I used to follow on LJ changed all her icons every 6 months. Scary...
