Hello, fellow MyLotters! I just re-joined Live Journal last night after a long hiatus away, so this question popped into my mind. When you joined LJ, what was the first thing you did? Did you answer one of the Writer's Block questions? Find some communities to join? Or did you first tweak the layout of your blog to the way you wanted it to look?

It's been so long since i joined that I don't remember the first thing I did. But finding a community to join and picking a theme were probably the first things. There weren't as many features when I joined, like the Writer's Block, and I don't really have any interest in them. I just blog, read my friends' posts, and look in on a couple of communities.
Every once in a while I get really bored with Live Journal and delete everything. Then I start over again.

I was on LJ for about a year before a lot of drama started happening on there, and I deleted my account, vowing never to go back again. But...never say never, because I am back on there. lol

I originally signed up for LiveJournal to participate in a Web cartoon's blog/discussion page. I had started a blog at another site, but I later deleted that one and began blogging with LJ. My first blog post was made about a few weeks after I was involved in a car accident, while I was still recovering at an assisted-living facility I only made occasional posts at first. The posts became more frequent after I recovered and was able to go home again. Now I use LJ almost every day.
My communities and friends list included many people from the U.S. and Europe who share a particular hobby/interest with me. It's great to discuss the hobby with them, as well as read about the happenings in their everyday lives.

I have blogs at three different sites, so I know where you're coming from there. LJ is the one that I use the most, though...I love all of the communities there.

I originally joined Live Journal back in 2002. The first thing I did was fill out my profile information and play with my layout. The next thing I did was type up my first entry and search for friends. I don't think Live Journal had the Writer's Block question back then but I do enjoy answering them now.

I joined LJ because I want to join to an anime-related community there. The first thing I did was answerin the Writer's Block and update my blog. It's been a month after I friended someone then she friended me.
