So, I post entries to all three, which takes extra effort -- which is probably a reason why I don't post as much. To be honest, I could probably stop posting to the Blogger one and just urge those folks to read this blog instead. But, LiveJournal is tough: I actually think LJ has better comment-handling support than my blog does: LJ has threaded comments and email notification when someone replies to your comment. LJ also has cutesy features like "user icons" and stuff, which makes it fun ... What to do ... what to do ...
