I have decided to run for the LJ advisory board. I need 100 people to post in support of my nomination to get on the ballot.

You can do so here: http://community.livejournal.com/lj_election_en/836.html

Absolutely. (and I didn't know I was thinking of running either -- I had to really hem and haw about it).

And I was really hoping to find some voices to educate me on the technical/usability/uptime issues as seen from the view of people with other account types and usage interests than my own.

Tell me how to proceed, and I'll do it tonight (as I want to be slightly more cogent than I am being at the office now and all that).

I'm glad you did run, because we've been looking for a candidate to support -- and who would support our platform -- and you'd be a good one.

I had been approached by a few people to run, but decided I'd rather stay on the sidelines, while helping organizationally and informationally.

As far as how to proceed, I would join LJ United, and post to the community saying that you approve of and the community's platform, and that you'd like to join LJ United and be its nominee in the election. Let people know what you've done and what your views are on things like the promises that were originally made to LJers, the free speech rights of users, etc.

Frankly, I suspect you could get the community's approval very easily, especially considering you have several people there -- including me -- who would have lots of good things to say about you.

After that, it would be appreciated if you refered people back later to LJ United, making it clear that we have endorsed you as our candidate.
