FAQ Question #32

» How do I add my current mood and current music to my journal entries?

In order to add your current mood or current music to a journal entry, you can use the web update client (http://www.livejournal.com/update.bml). The web update client shows fields for "Mood" and "Music" at the bottom of the page.

To enter your current mood, you can select an option from the dropdown list next to "Mood", or you can leave the selection blank and type your mood into the text box provided to the right.

To enter your current music, type it into the text box provided next to "Music".

Many downloadable clients also support the ability to add this data to your entries. Some clients can even "auto-detect" the music playing in your preferred music player, so that you don't have to type it in. Consult your preferred client's documentation and menu options for details.

If you would like any moods that you select from the dropdown list to appear with a small icon to accompany them, you can select a mood theme for your journal. Visit http://www.livejournal.com/modify.bml while logged in and scroll down to the section labeled "Mood Icons". Here, you can select a theme from the dropdown list. To preview the available themes, click the (preview) link next to the dropdown list, or visit http://www.livejournal.com/moodlist.bml. Select the theme you want to use from the list, and save your changes.

If you type in a mood yourself that corresponds exactly to a mood from the dropdown list, it may display with the correct mood icon. However, not all clients support this functionality. If you are using the web update client, you may also combine a choice from the drop-down list with a mood that you enter yourself. This will cause the icon corresponding to the preset mood to display along with the text that you enter, allowing you to show appropriate icons for your own custom moods. If you have a Paid Account, you have the ability to create your very own custom mood theme.
