Like a couple of of you, I've created a shadow blog on Greatest Journal.

Let me just stress: My main Journal is remaining here on LJ. I am basically backing up my LJ entries to GreatestJournal since I don't trust SixApart as far as I can throw them.

I know quite a few people are starting to do it. If you have GreatestJournal account, you can clink on the link below to friend me on GreatestJournal:
