I, too, thank you for this post - I'd never heard of semagic either - I've just downloaded the zip version that doesn't require an install - you just save the unzipped files in a folder (I don't like to clutter up my registry unnecessarily) - and tried it out with a private test post - Perfection!

I saved it to my desktop -I'll put it elsewhere later - and to use, I just opened it and clicked on the LJ icon. Easy peasy!
