Introduction
------------
"LiveJournal.com... because you like to think other people care."
LogJam is a client for LiveJournal.  It lets you post, edit old
entries, manage your friends, and whatever other useful
LiveJournal-related features we can think of.

Visit http://logjam.danga.com for the latest version and up-to-date
information about LogJam development.


Requirements
------------
LogJam requires GTK+ 2.0 or greater.  
Get GTK+ at http://www.gtk.org.

LogJam also requires libcurl, an HTTP library.

Debian users need libgtk2.0-dev, libxml2-dev, libcurl-dev, and their
dependencies.

RPMs of libcurl are linked from the LogJam page.


Enhancements
------------
Spell checking support requires GtkSpell 2.0.2 or later.
For more information about GtkSpell, visit http://gtkspell.sf.net.

Current music autodetection requires XMMS 1.2 or later.
Visit http://www.xmms.org.

Debian users can apt-get libgtkspell-dev, xmms-dev, and their
dependencies.


Getting Started
---------------
You need a LiveJournal account to use LogJam.
LogJam cannot create this.  Visit http://www.livejournal.com to get
a free account.

(LogJam can also be used with alternative LiveJournal sites, though
you'll have to find them yourself.)

LogJam has a pretty standard setup.
Running:
	$ ./configure 
	$ make
	$ su
	# make install
should be all you need to install it.

The installed executable is called "logjam".


Using LogJam
------------
If you have any questions or topics that should be covered in this section,
let me know.

If there is anything you don't like, don't just complain about it in your
LiveJournal, tell me!  I can't fix it if I don't know about it.
