Not especially. LJ's been around for years, columns on it now would be pretty old news. I am thinking of it as a potential marketing method for my column, though.
I've always just run my own sites in the past, doing my own design and running my own scripts, but I never seem to remember to go post stuff. There's a blog on the front page of my site at chrisbridges.com and I'm lucky if I remember to post there once a season or so. But with LJ you can post by e-mail! Very handy, indeed.

I used to be active in LiveJournal Support, so if you have any questions, let me know and I can either answer them or point you in the right direction.
Posting by email is cool. There's also posting via phone. Any since you're a Paid Account, you likely have an account on pics.livejournal.com, which is their beta photo hosting service. Oh, and if you're going to be posting really long entries (or stupid "memes"), make sure you use an LJ-cut.

This is English. We reserve the right to change at will which part of speech a word belongs to.

Oh, thank you for rescuing that poor little preposition out there. The little guy had me worried.

I like the Logjam client (under Linux), but Aurora (I think that's right) is good for Windows posting. If you use Firefox, then Deepest Sender also works well, though it's mp3 detection doesn't as far as I can tell.

Waaaaaaay back when I used Semagic for a while. I don't use a client these days, unless you count Notepad as a client. I usually type longer entries in Notepad first just in case the web update page decides to crap out on me.

LogJam is by a former LiveJournal developer, so I'd trust it for reliability. I've never heard or Aurora, and I don't see it on the clients page. Where'd you find it, Dan? I'd be interested in checking it out.
My advice with clients is to stick with the more well-known or popular clients. There's less issues with clients than with other tools a la those posted to lj_nifty, but I'm very leery of third-party utilities ever since the "make my journal friends-only" tools that erased every entry that didn't have a subject. I'd rather paranoid about losing data from my journal.
Did anyone see Six Apart's new LiveJournal page? I like it. They also added a LiveJournal section on their Support page.

There's been an ongoing project to make our paper more interesting to the younger demographics. At one of the recent meetings -- where teen and twenty-something interns and employees are asked their opinions -- my column was brought up and praised. Since then there has been talk of bringing it to the print edition, but I've no intentions of jinxing it or making assumptions. If it does, cool, if not, I'm having fun online without length restrictions.
It'd be a kick, though Posts: 7790 | Registered: Aug 2000

You can always post the long version online...
I use Semagic and I like it, though at this point it's less cool, since it can't show me pictures of my icons and my emoticons. It does, however, make sure that I won't lose my entry or whatever, so in that respect it's nice.
Except it always blinks when there's new entries on my friends page, which is just... distracting.

I use a client, but I have no idea which one. It blinks with there's a new post to my friends page - I don't think it's distracting, though. I love it!
