questions about lj clients

What are the advantages of having a livejournal client, besides the ease of seeing who has recently friended/defriended you? Are there any clients, for example, that make linking to other journal entries easier? Are there other benefits?

Also, an unrelated question: is there any way to search the rss feeds available on livejournal, or is an alphabetical list the only option?

Semagic has drop down lists for the different tags that are available. Like with your friends, you can select a users name from a drop down list and it automatically inserts the tag for that user. As for links, there's a couple of different options... A quick link which is just the hyperlink, or a link with text, or linking a picture, etc. So yes, it definitely makes links easy to the point of just copy and pasting the URL into the box given.

Another thing is that you can define text macros in case there's HTML or something that you're constantly needing to type in and Semagic doesn't offer.

All in all, it's a really handy little program.

Thanks for letting me know about this--it sounds like a program that would be very helpful to me.

No problem! I hope you like it and that it's as helpful as it sounds.
