How do I make it default to friends-only and how do I change where the linkback points to?

I've been using the plugin successfully now for several weeks (after
having transitioned off of a host where my WP install was located at
www.[website].com/~[mydirectory] to something more normal) and am
quite happy with it. However, I was wondering if there is an easy
way, short of hacking the plugin files directly, to set it to default
to posting as friends-only (don't want duplicate content being indexed
by Google!) and to change where the linkback points to.

In the plugin configuration page, I see a place to select what group
gets to see an email post but I am either missing or can't find where
the similar selection box is for normal posts.

I keep my blog off of the front page of my site (using a static front
page instead, through the respective Wordpress setting). Linking back
to the front page, as the plugin currently does, doesn't help people
find the original entry if they want to comment on it in Wordpress or
see additional content that doesn't find its way through the plugin
(WPG2 data, for instance).

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

Douglas,

Good point about the default friends option. Currently there is no
way to default to something other than what it is (Public), but I will
make this an enhancement item for a future release.

LP will automatically link back to the original post. Currently
there is no way to change this short of hacking the code yourself.
If you turn comments off on the livejournal side, the linkback
"comments" will link back to the original post page, not the blog
front page. The first line of the linkback points back to the blog
itself, not the blog page.

So, if you want comments left on your WP blog, the comments linkback
line (second line) does the job of directing the reader to the right
place no matter how old the post is, or if you have a non-default
front page which includes recent posts.

Ah okay. I'll go ahead and hack the plugin then.

Thanks!
