Lemme ask here if your advice really implies another distinction – people acquiring writing confidence and those who already have it. Since you’re offering advice to transition – perhaps in the insect sense rather than the transgender one – from journalers to real writers, I think that’s what you’re doing.

I’m not sure I have any consistency at all in my approach to Weblog postings, save for the photographs.

BTW, I think the entire concept and reality of LiveJournal is a total joke. My derision for them exceeds my former derision for AOLers. Another generational divide? I’ve been online forever; what have they got?
