Livejournal is
bringing back the creation of Basic accounts - except not really. There will be ad content involved, and they're making the changes to ALL Basic accounts, including ones like mine that have existed for years.
This is my cue to start looking for an alternative blogging site. The last thing I want is a ton of ads on my journal.
Dreamwidth sounds intriguing, and I hope it pans out. Otherwise I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to go with.
Just a heads up.
