09:25 pm - PSA: LJ username links are no longer what they seem.
NOTE: as of the timne of writing this entry, this only happens on LJ, not on IJ. Thus the examples below fail. See this entry on LJ for working examples.
The code to make an LJ username link, such as vakkotaur has been modified. It's now possible to make the link say something else. If one uses the same method as before, no problem.
It has been, and still is: <lj user="vakkotaur">
But you can also do it like this: <lj user="vakkotaur" title="Valentine Payne" > and now the link is my journal, but it will read Valentine Payne rather than vakkotaur.
If one uses the new method responsibly, no real problem - it's just a way to say a different name:
