So far with this Livejournal, I'm just mirroring my Wordpress blog. The Wordpress has been around longer, but I went back and copied across all the pre-LJ entries from WP to here, so they both look pretty much the same as far as content. Other aspects of appearance, though, not so much. I have yet to see a good-looking Livejournal blog, not even among people who use Livejournal as their one and only blogging platform. Something about the infrastructure of this thing seems to make impossible the stripping-out of various ugly elements of the interface. Yes, you can apply skins or various styling options, but it still looks terrible.
If someone can point me to a tasteful, well-designed Livejournal-hosted blog, please do so. Aside from aesthetics, this place works as well as the other.
One thing I'm curious about is that on Wordpress, it's easy for me to see how many people are viewing my blog, by day or by week or by month, and which specific posts are being looked at. If there's a way to see this sort of thing on Livejournal, even something as simple as "total hits" or "daily hits" or "views per post," I have yet to find it.
Maybe I need to make some Livejournal buddies and have somebody throw me a tip or two. Or maybe I'll just leave this thing the way it is, keep mirroring the Wordpress blog, and not worry about it.
