I prefer Xanga and LJ more because I think they're easier to customize and work with. LJ is my absolute favorite. I like the communities (becausr you get to post in them!) and it e-mails you each and every comment! I just work better with Xanga and LJ lol. The only downside to LJ is that you have to have a paid account to search for people by area
(is this considered off topic heh) I really want a CSI inspired layout for my journal, D-land does let you insert your own code but I seemed to have forgotten everything I know in the 18 months I've been offline. If Xanga is easier I might check it out. I've had my Dland journal since 2001 though so it's hard to decide to move.
