So recently LJ has set the default number of journal entries per page to 10, which drove me crazy, but I have just learned how to change it!
http://www.livejournal.com/customize/options.bml So now I have both my personal LJ and my f/list set to 20 per page LIKE IT SHOULD BE.
*ahem*
Anyway thanks to lj-er
keristars for showing me how to do this :D
