Updating feed?

Is there a way to update my stephthegeek_wp RSS feed here on LJ? I've got the new site going on Drupal and I need to update that account to pick up my new feed address. Can only paid accounts do that?

Whoops, now with commenting on :)

EDIT: mhaithaca found the info and emailed LJ support to have it changed. Thanks!

It apparently takes a few days, so in the meantime, you can check out my journal directly if you'd like. Still working out the kinks on the new site...

Someone sent me a LiveJournal nudge, so I thought I'd post a reminder here:
- I'm no longer blogging using LiveJournal, but you can add "stephthegeek_wp" to your friends list to get my blog updates syndicated from my site. Please leave stephthegeek on your friends list so I can read your friends-only entries :)

No longer updating here

Wed, 07 Sep 2005 14:37:12 GMT

I will no longer be cross-posting entries from my blog to LiveJournal. Please add stephthegeek_wp to your friends' list if you haven't yet, add the feed to your favourite RSS reader, or read my blog directly on my site.

Please leave me on your friends' lists as I still very frequently read all your journals! Thanks :)

First day of school

Tue, 06 Sep 2005 14:57:31 GMT

Back to reality. First day of my last year of school. Scary. At least I can wear whatever the heck I want for the first time in eight months.

Today I meet the group I'll be spending the next eight months with. We will be working on our major final year project together for the next two semesters. Hunh. I haven't had two semesters back-to-back in two years.

More time for dance classes, choir, my weekends back... it's going to be a great year. I am so grateful for so many things right now.
